Please help me print with Vista

Windows Vista >> Please help me print with Vista Hi All,

I am ready to throw my vista machine out the window. I need to print my
bank statement as a PDF. When I click print it says something like this is
an unsafe action and that it is saved in my temporary internet folder. When
I open the folder it is blank.

It will not let me save it anywhere on my C: drive, and it says I don't have
access to my D: drive. I cannot set my banks website as a trusted site
because the main part of the web address changes and I cannot use * in that
instance.

Please help
Chad

Windows Vista >> Please help me print with Vista This is caused by "User Account Control" and the Filesystem being
virtualized ( e.g. the folders are fake folders and not the real ones ) .

You have a few options : get an alternate filemanager like TotalCommander
( www.ghisler.com ) and set it to show hidden directories, then have a look
within this Norton-Commander Clone in your C:\user\.. directories.

If you have saved it before in Internet Explorer then this file has to be
somewhere deep in the directories that normally you will never see.

Or :

Use alternate browsers like firefox or opera for this action if you want
UAC enabled.These Browsers do not make use of the virtualization feature in
Vista.

Or :

Disable all these doubtful security-features in Vista :

Startorb/ type in the searchbox or in the runbox : msconfig, then go to the
tab named tools and select "disable user account control. You will need to
reboot for the effect.

How are you "printing" your bank statement as a PDF? By "save as .."
and then as a PDF?

If your settings allow you to "print" (ie send what's on the page to a
printer and print onto paper) then you'll be able to save what's on the
page as a .PDF file by using a program called PDF995. I use it on Vista
regularly.

...... hopefully this is of help.

Windows Vista >> Please help me print with Vista Hi Chad,

As a workaround, you may save the .PDF file locally, reopen it and =
Print.
