I would go into your permalinks and see if for some reason you have a funky permalink structure… say for instance (and I hope you have backed up your database prior to this ‘mishap’) and change the permalink to the default, try an upload, and if it works let me know… it could be your wp-options table is corrupted…

Okay my apologies… I had Press75 confused as, I have their video themes running on one of my sites… verses another theme that requred a “Preloaded” for the “Child” theme… I do apologize however, what is the results if you try either of the two above?

You do have plenty of disk space available don’t you?

What winds up in in the uploads folder if you use just the “Add Media” function?

Have you tried that? Or, have you try adding via a post? You need to maje certain that you give your “Post” a title first like “Test” otherwise, the upload will not know how to create the permalink… that maybe it…

Under your media settings, are you allowing the extension for the type of media you are trying to upload? e.g. .png, .jpg, .bmp, .gif, .pdf, .mov, etc?

You have the folder “writeable” correct?

Next, thing you need to do is, correct the upload path in the media settings within the dashboard due to the fact that, /wp-contents/uploads/ is not a direct child of the root hence, you will need to try something like, /inetpub/vhosts/*****/httpdocs/wordpress/wp-content/uploads

I run a VPS myself and for the life of me, I cannot see why you are mapped up with the c:\inetpub\vhosts\*****\httpdocs\wordpress directory structure?

Normally, httpdocs is terminology associated with Apache….

Do you have a partition other than “C” to use? If so, it is easier to simply place your website/virtual on the say “D” drive, then go into IIS 7.5 and add the virtual domain that way…. that is, simple path of D:\My Website

Next just copy the wordpress files into that directory and that’s that… your diretory structure would be, for example:
D:\My Website\wp-admin
D:\My Website\wp-content\
D:\My Website\wp-content\uploads (and so on)

That way, WordPress could easily find your uploads folder…

Also, the obvious is make certain you are allowing uploads in your media settings and the file size and types are listed accordingly…

@sydney harrel… your ramblings are so mundane… the person seeking assistance has a PC or Laptop with Windows 7 running on it…

You may have simply told the person seeking assistance to wipe out their hard drive and TRY to place some opensource flavor of Linux on it when, they are simply trying to get WordPress to run on their existing equipment… not an argument as vague and ridiculous regarding who “you think” has the best OS…

Getting WordPress to run on a Windows 7 box is as simple as installing IIS 7.5 on your PC, do a web search for Microsoft WEB PI (Web Application Platform Installer) and automatically install WordPress for you… It is very simple and will create the MySQL database for you (if you are unfamiliar with MySQL) along with PHP all designed for your PC…

From there, accessing WordPress is as simple as typing in http://loclahost/ and presto, your are at your WordPress installation..

I prefer the first method I outlined because, when you use ZEND CE, it will give you the options of installing MyPHPAdmin at the same time which, you will find that when you come to these boards looking for answers, most that will answer database questions will tell you to open you MyPHPAdmin because they are so into this open source non-sense, that they cannot or do not know how to manipulate MySQL from either the command line, or via MySQL Workbench… the end and good luck

P.S. Regarding WAMP, running WAMP on a Windows box, will do nothing more than consume much more memory than simply install IIS 7.5

Chances are good you can mark this as resolved… just an fyi…

The easiest way to determine if you have “Two” installations of WordPress is… Do you run the install.php twice? Did you create “Two databases”?

Next, if you are running “Multisite” login to the one you can get into, then, from the admin dashboard you will see “My Sites” you will need to go there and “visit” each dashboard to make the corrections… e.g. reactivate the plugin… and if you deleted it, reinstall it and, reactivate it… let me know…
