I need some technical assistance.

For some reason, I can't create new folders on my Windows 7 computer. I have tried doing it from the desktop, inside the other places I want to put the files, and have even clicked the "new folder" button, and none of these things work. I'm not quite sure if it's a registry problem or a virus, but I would like some help figuring it out.

EDIT: Resolved. Thanks for the help.

Have you tried, in Windows Explorer, going to your desktop or wherever you want to put it and clicking Home > New Folder on the toolbar?

have you tried getting a tech guy to come around and have a look at it?

[applejack2357]

2241753 Well, I would, but I have no money to pay the guy, plus I'm planning on going into this as a profession, so I need to learn eventually...
