Hi,
Not exactly the same error we had here, but users were able to upload docs, but not edit. Re-ran the webfldrs.msi and it fixed the issue. If your error is affecting everyone, then this may not be your fix.
Unable to edit Documents in SharePoint
Error
User get s the following error message
“a problem occurred while connecting to the server” if the problem continues, contact your administrator
Solution
Well it worked today for Jo Mallett, when all the windows updates, profile rebuilds and office installs didn’t, and this fix took no more than about 1 minute to implement.
It is not uncommon for the web folders / WebDAV support in Windows XP to just stop working for no apparent reason.
You can usually reinstall the original Web Folders support by finding and executing
webfldrs.msi with specific options.
webfldrs.msi is probably in one of your system directories. It is easiest to search for it (remember to set advanced search options to include system and hidden folders). When you find the program (it’s a normal Microsoft install package) launch it, then
do these steps:
- Click “Select Reinstall Mode”
- Uncheck “Repair all detected reinstall problems”.
- Check “Force all files to be reinstalled, regardless of checksum or version”.
- Check “Verify that required user registry entries are present”.
- Check “Verify that required machine registry entries are present”.
- Check “Validate shortcuts”.
- Press OK
- Click REINSTALL
- Normally no reboot is required.
- Now the web folder client should have been restored as it was shipped.
- If you previously installed Software Update for Web Folders (KB907306) from the Microsoft site, you may have to install it again.
