Before you smash your machine try 1-ading desk top feature

2-Remove web dev pub feature if installed on the server

3- try to copy and paste URL of your doc lirary in save in dialouge box (URL up to the site name and doc library name )
let us know

If I get the "Path does not exist" error again, I might smash my computer. I really hope your trick works. I'm gonna try it later in the evening. If it does work, I'm taking you out to lunch!

I am still working on it. There are some features that stop server from integrating with office . i had this issue , iwas unable to see my sharepoint sites in save in dialog box even with desktop experiencefeature turned on . what i did i had all the featuresinstalled on the machines its more than 20 . now i have only 5 features installed and every thing is working fine so it has to be one of he features we dont need on the server with sharepoint , I will try to narrow down this issue and post again

Perhaps you also have to disable the loopback adapter?

Well apparently this server setting is not such a good approach. Windows hosting should allow installations otherwise we'll keep bumping into this kind of errors and it can become really annoying.
