Ha, right i seem to have sorted it. Unfortunately I'm not 100% sure which setting it was as i changed about 15 at once as each one required a restart of iis, most of them were silly things like the time zone etc, but i think the guilt one was the temp directory set to the windows temp by default, like you allow web server access to your windows directory, i think not. Anyway seems OK, let me know if there is more problems.

It definitely seems to be a permission thing although i have check and triple checked them. And no it fails on the latest version too, and on the gallery. I now pretty sure it relates to the way PHP is setup on the sever and there is a setting somewhere that is at fault. and it seems I'm not the only one: http://www.simplemachines.org/community/https://atomclub.com/phpbbnew/viewtopic.php?t=4 and yes i have worked though all of the suggestions on this page. I will spend some time on it this weekend and hopefully crack it.

It generates an instantaneous error, so it is probably something on the server and not a network problem.

A support request would probably come back as "Upgrade to the latest version and report back if it still isn't fixed", particularly as we're so out-of-date. I don't know anything about the internals of this software, and with it running on a Windows box, I couldn't help anyway.

Wisp other than to say we ran phpBB under linux biting my tongue on that one.... ;) You do like to stir the pot (wheres that devil smiley?)

To replicate it:
generate a reply or new message,
do a preview,
click the additional options
and then try to attach a file .... you'll see the error message.

Knowing PHP a little I'd guess it's either the path to the avatar/uploads folder in the configuration or read/write permissions to that directory on the server.

Permmisions was my first stab and upload path my second, both had errors but both are now correct and the problem still exists, hence i'll have to dig abit deeper, I will see it there are any log files, they might give me a clue.

Unfortunatly cucustance ment i didn't have long to test, and there were a lot of changes made in the background in one go:

Diffrent version of mySQL and on windows not Linux
Servered from IIS not Apache
Newer version of PHP on Windows not Linux
Split server setup now mySQL and the websever are on seperate servers.
Now the site sits behind a Application Layer Firewall (not sure if it did before but either way the setup will be diffrent)

I'm sure there were others, so i'm not suprised there is an error or two. The gallery is also giving the same error so i'm now begining to suspect the PHP setup. 

Can you give me a step by step how you get the error so i can test it myself please.
