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)
 
When I print to Doc Image Manager, a dialog asked me what folder and name to
use.
I would expect your system to be the same!
 
That's what i am doing - they aren't visible - but they are there - i'm
freaked - just open Picture manager and that can't see them
either????????????
 
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)
 
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
 
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

According to freaky1.jpg your files are in temp folder in the root directory.
Try putting the files in a folder in your user ("Chirs") directory.

If you look again you'll see the 'temp' folder i created is on my desktop -
as per freaky2 & 3
