Hi,
You'll just have to convert your file system. See:

Hi,
Interesting, although it's still certainly possible for PCs to be sold today with FAT32 as
the file system (even say Dell still offers it as option).

Thanks... I just bought the computer on Friday, and it's a brand new one w/a
Intel Core Duo processor, so it's pretty new.... If you're sure that's the
prob I'll try it out. Thanks a bunch!

Greetings,
In order for sharing folders to work, your hard disk drive where your Windows profile
is
stored must use the NTFS file system. More then likely your drive has been set up
using
FAT32 especially if you upgraded it or obtained it around 3-4 years ago before NTFS was
considered standard.
You can upgrade your drive to NTFS without any real problem and no data loss by simply
following the instructions here:

When I look at my account settings in windows live msgr, it says that my
computer doesn't support sharing folders. How do I change this? I looked at
my firewall list and it already has a checkmark next to "sharing folders and
files" and "windows live msgr" in the 'exceptions' list... Anyone know what
to do? I'd appreciate the help greatly! Thanks!
