Well Dave, I just tested by replacing what I had with what you told me to put, including quotation marks (is that correct?) and still have the same error, so I suppose that cannot possibly be the problem. Yes, I restarted all services etc. and re-logged in and tried uploading the profile pic again. Also, I checked and C\WINDOWS\Temp has a read-only flat that I cannot seem to remove ... in fact, I tried creating subfolders under C:\ root directory and in My Documents folder but the read-only flag persists ... this could explain some things, I admit. What do I need now? Unlocker or some other Windows file and folder tweaker that can ACTUALLY set non-read-only permissions? (ref. example : http://windowsitpro.com/systems-mana...ws-2000-folder ) Man, I miss the good ol' days of Windows 2000 and earlier when you could change those flags and not see the read-only checkbox still checked when you were done. Right now I am trying something else, which is a long, drawn-out procedure of clicking on the main drive icon (C: or whatever), Security, Owner tab, Advanced button, then selecting the current user and checking "replace owner on subcontainers and and objects" ... then closing the Properties dialogue and re-opening it, then changing Owner permissions again, giving updated permissions to the desired user. Unlocker did not work, nor did Microsoft's fixes or regedits for anyone who tried to fix this problem. I have read that Windows 2000 did not have this problem and that is also what I remember ... if I could just figure out how to get SATA drivers to load on installation of Windows 2000, I would slipstream it into a copy of 2000 Pro, and hopefully there is a version of WAMPserver that works on Windows 2000 ... yeah, I'd be back in the stone age but if I can get this working it will all be worth the effort; I started out doing my first web serving using Windows 2000 Server years ago so it would be almost like a homecoming.

I swear, Windows just (in some ways) gets stupider and stupider .... So I still have the same problem.

Thanks for the reply though. If you can think of anything else, please feel free to follow up with me some more.
