    That's saving a thumbnail, so presumably you were saving a sceen or preset? Did you do as it suggested and try again, using a different name?

    I can't even save my renders!

    Where are you trying to save ffrom - the bottom of the render window, or File>Save Last Render? To what folder are you trying to save?

    it could be a permisions thing can you save to another place on your computer?

    I actually get those errors saving to my H drive on occasions, a restart fixes it but it seems to be virtual RAM related from doing a render ironically.

    Can you save a file - of any type - from another application to the same location?

    File -> Save

    OK, so you are saving a scene. Is this a new scene (giving you a file dialogue) or a scene you haev saved before (which won't give a dialogue, assuming you have entered something for author name in Edit>Preferences)?

    Did that too. The same thing happened. I even tried unstalling and re-installing DAZ, nothing.

    Can you save other scenes normally?

    No. I can only save on my thumb drive.

  • Richard HaseltineRichard Haseltine Posts: 102,440

    So you can save to other locations, but not to your Documents folder? Can other applications save to the Documents folder? Can DS save to a different folder in your Documents folder?

    Just like I said, I can only save renders on my thumb drive. Every other application on my laptop works fine.

  • Richard HaseltineRichard Haseltine Posts: 102,440

    I'm getting confused again - are you saving renders to the thumbdrive, or are you using File>Save (which saves a scene, not a 2D image)?

    OK, and you can save to the thumbdrive but not to the Documenmts folder? At all, or do you get the .duf file OK just not the PNG thgumbnail?

    That's odd - and if you render you can't save, using the options at the bottom of the render window or File>Save Last Render? Does saving renders to a diffrent format work? (It wills til try, and I suspect fail, to create a PNG thumbnail if you save the render to a folder in a Render Library but try saving to another location.)
