Microsoft SharePoint says folder does not exist

Hello everyone,
We're using SharePoint Portal Server to deploy a solution.

Sharepoint has a nasty habit of erroneously reporting that a folder or file does not exist, when, in fact, it does exist.

However, on a good day, Sharepoint behaves appropriately.

Does anybody have ANY IDEA what might be going on here?

Thanks very much for your input. All ideas are accepted.

What are you trying to do when it gives you that error?

Just seeing if Sharepoint recognizes the folder.
What folder? What part of Sharepoint are you in and what are you trying to do?

Is it a local folder, a UNC folder, a mapped drive folder?
It's a folder created within a web store, accessible via a URL rather than a file service.
Your security settings may be too strict. Try the following:

In Microsoft Internet Explorer, on the Tools menu, click Internet options, and click the Security tab. In the Select a Web content zone to specify its security settings box, click Trusted sites, and then click Sites. In the Add this Web site to the zone box, type the URL of your team Web site, and then click Add.

Cheers.
OH Yeah--forgot to post the link where I retreived the info, here ya go:

Sorry guys.

I missed all these email confirmations (I get so much freakin' SPAM to my current email address I probably passed over them).

Changing my email addr now...
Thanks NetMinder...not sure why the points were to go back to the questioner...did I not provide enough info/possible answers? If so, then by all means releive me of the points and give 'em back to Supermario.

Cheers All,
