Hello all,

My predicament is quite peculiar in its nature, and I haven't found a thread dedicated to something like this, so I decided to post here. My Windows programs like Word Doc, Movie Maker (even the previous version), and Paint all tell me that my files are corrupt when I try to make a new file and save it. They are all alike, saying things such as, "Your save was corrupted," or for Movie Maker, "a new set of empty files have been made" since my saves were corrupted.

I can open projects or documents just fine (I have not tried to edit them as of yet for fear of losing anything) but if I try making a new file and title it after "Save as," they all tell me it's corrupt in some way or it simply cannot be saved. I tried going into the control panel, and using Windows Essential repair tools, but to no avail had it fixed anything. I freed up space in both my drives, managing to get more than half of it available, but still, I could not find the root of the problem. I am unsure if there is a virus or something missing on my end, but I sincerely hope it is the latter. 

Thank you for your time,

Mylene
