I have been trying to save web page into my hard-disk from IE 6.0. But each time I try, I get
the error message "Error Saving Web Page. The web page could not be saved to the selected location.

I am using XP profrssional operating system.

Please advice.

Open the webpage you want to save. In the top left hand corner there is a blue E. You can either drag it to your desktop which will create a shortcut to the page, or you can right click it and open the download wizard which lets you save webpages offline.

I usually save a web page by going File >> Save As and then choosing a location and name. Sometimes this will not work if the location does not have enough available space or if the web page has some data drawn from elsewhere, this can vary depending upon how the page was written, and I will get the 'unable to dave web page' error message. Sometimes you can get an 'unable to save' error with some pages written in JavaScript.

I can often get around this by placing the mouse in the middle of the page and right clicking and selelcting the option 'view source', this usually open in Notepad or Wordpad, then use 'Save As' to save it.
