HI Steven,
This morning with my colleague I have worked with Whyteboard in a PC with Operation System Windows Vista and we Can't save any file in Whyteboard.
This is the error message:

hi,

try version 0.41.1 - should be fixed there. You're running an older version from May

I don't remember well, but I think that we have tried also version 0.41.1
I'll check it.
Are you sure that with 0.41.1 is OK? Please, could you try it?

I'm not on Windows - can you try it? Before, the code would try and write the file to wherever the program's installed to (C:/program files) - hence permission denied.

I've changed the code so it writes it to your home directory (C:/documents and settings/users/blah/blah/blah) where you will definitely have write access.

Yoy said "I've changed the code so it writes it to your home directory

definitely have write access."
So you have made a new release of Whyteboard with this new code?
When I can download it?
Thanks in advance

Yes - version 0.41+, as stated above. You can download it from Launchpad, on the project's front page.

By the way, this is a bug report, not a question. I've already submitted this bug, a while ago, in the middle of June -- https://bugs.launchpad.net/whyteboard/+bug/597493
