Here's what Vista sees after creating a 'New Bitmap Image' (actually in the
folder) and printing a .tif image to the folder:

Here's the save as dialogue box when attempting to print a web page (google
home) - even after a cold boot::

Here is the save as dialogue when attempting to print a notepad or MS Word
file:

even more freaked now

total reboot & Vista still can't see anything

try to print another web page to the same folder and the old documents are
there (i can even rename them)

try to print a notepad document and now even through the dialogue box, the
folder is empty - except for the notepad document!

Vista still sees nothing

this is getting totally spooky

the folder i printed them all to, is 'empty' as far as Windows Vista is
concerned (even a search for '*'

i am starting to suspect Vista (the operating system) - it's not the
first time Vista simply doesn't know what day it is

any ideas on this .dmi file type (i'm sure we use at work)

Have you used Search for *.tif (only one f)?

I have now printed 5 documents via 'Microsoft Office Doc Image Writer'
(.tiff files) - and they are nowhere to be found on my system (Vista
Premium & Office 2003)- and it's totally freaking me out??????????

I have hidden/system files visible

They are still there each time i print a new document to the same
folder because the old ones are still visible via save as dialogue box

1/ Anyone heard of this strange phenomena?

2/ I feel sure that at work it prints to .dmi files (or something)
