If this just happened in the last couple of weeks, after installing a Windows update, see if the following applies:

Do you have any of the software mentioned in the Microsoft article running on your computer?  If you save the files to a different location, does the same problem occur?

shortty

The save as problem happened at this grad school to perhaps three people('s computers) and I just did the fix on one of them today. I had to run Regedit and was careful first to EXPORT the registry before tampering with it, then created the new DWORD as instructed by doing a straight edit paste into the new key, then gave it a value of 1
Are you sure you "did it already" and it "didn't work"?
I have not tested the fix on the system I modified but expect the "owner" of that system to do so tomorrow.
Did yours included modifying the Windows registry through REGEDIT dot exe ?
