[chirp_users] Vista problems

[Alan Kline]

I think the first thing I'd check is to make sure that the user account 
on the Vista machine has full read/modify permissions in whatever folder 
you're trying to save the file to. When I moved a lot of files and 
folders from a Win7 laptop to a Win8 machine, the Win8 laptop wouldn't 
let me save anything to the transferred folders until I went in and 
fixed the permissions--and never said anything. It just failed silently, 
as you're seeing now. Since Win 7 and 8 are updated versions of Vista, 
it wouldn't surprise me at all if it was a permissions problem.
