can't save or email

Question

FireShot 0.46
MS Windows XP Pro SP2, English
Firefox 2.0.0.14

I just installed the addon, and I can open the screenshot to edit mode, but whenever I try to save from the edit mode, or directly from the menu, I get the following error:
Failed to get access to folder "C:\Documents and Settings\rorris\ApplicationData\FireShot\publish

I don't have any administrator access to my computer.

Will asking my sys admin to install this solve this problem? Or is there another solution?

Thanks,
Rebecca

Hi. Normally even users have access to the folders below C:\Documents and Settings\%username%\ApplicationData\ so your case is an exclusion. Please ask you admin to set write-permission to this folder. Also make sure you can copy files into this folder.

Or maybe just have that entire older set to write enable. That will do I think.
