Open/save dialog box button for new folder does nothing

When I am about to save something, it could be a picture from the net using internet explorer, a document in word etc I can not use the button in the save dialog box to create a new folder on my desktop.  If I select another folder to save in then I can create a new folder but when I go to create one on the desktop the button clicks and nothing happens.  This only occurs in the save dialog box, I can create new folders on the desktop in the usual way by right clicking selecting new then new folder but not from the save dialog box.

Its not a virus, spyware or trojan.

are you talking about the save icon in word?  the one that looks like a floppy disk?  can you go to File and then Save or Save As?  is this a home pc or work pc?

I've had the same problem that has been descibed here. And i also have another even more annoying problem. Very often when I  make "New folder" in the "Save as" dialog and starts to type the name of the folder, it suddenly changes it's location/path to "Recent documents". This is very annoying. And it's not just on the Desktop, it occurs in any subfolder anywhere. Have anyone else experienced this problem?

I found out my problem was due to the latest nvidia drivers for my graphics card which I got from their web site, I unistalled them and the problem went away.
