Should I be able to save my Homeseer configuration file (.XML) to my My Documents folder under Windows XP?
I purchased a new computer and copied my config file from my old machine (Win 98) to the new machine. I've always kept it in my My Documents folder to simplify backing up. I've been running Homeseer successfully on the new XP machine for some months now, utilizing the file in my My Documents folder, with no apparent problems. However, I added some new devices and events the other day and noticed after a computer restart that the new devices and events were gone. The config file was never updated. I tried to Save As... over the existing file and to new test files, but as long as I'm in the My Documents folder or a sub folder thereof, it will not save. The program doesn't complain, i.e., there are no error messages, but the file is not updated (nor created if I try a new one).
Is this by design for some reason or is something not working correctly?
Thanks,
Mike
