Crystal Reports 8.5 on XP

Can someone please help? I just installed CR 8.5 and installed the last service packs and hotfixes. When I click on the save button I get an error message that says: The handle is invalid. Also, when I use the export button I get an error message saying that there was an error creating the tempory file. I have domain admin rights, which shouldn't matter because I am trying to create the temp file locally. I am an administrator on my local machine as well.

Any suggestions?

Thanks!!

When are you clicking the save button. I have CR8.5 installed on XP, and when I get most errors it is because the data has not been updated in crystal.

Thanks for your suggestion. But I am just trying to save the created report not the data. Thanks though.

I had the same thing happen on my machine. With the help of Crystal Technical Support, we finally solved the issue by uninstalling Windows Service Pack 2. Crystal Reports 8.5 is not tested on Windows XP running Service Pack 2 and has some issues. I would get the "handle is invalid" error when I did almost anything in Crystal 8.5 until Service Pack 2 was removed.
