| 19 van, on Wednesday July 9, 2008 12:23:44 PMI dont think its IE. I have the same problem with firefox:) Reply to van | 103 asdasdasd, on Thursday October 23, 2008 02:43:27 AMYou statement is a lie (incorrect) - firefox does not have this issue! Reply to asdasdasd | 114 nayan, on Monday November 3, 2008 05:45:30 PMHey guys i have solution for u change ur vista to xp . Reply to nayan | 116 da, on Wednesday November 5, 2008 08:06:49 PMI just started having this problem after using XP....no problems there....now with Vista...problems.
I found one program that worked well by converting to PDF file and it worked, but no other program works.
the program that worked is called MyInvoices & Estimates Deluxe....version 9.0.0....File/Convert to PDF works....
so I know Adobe Acrobat works, just can't get it to work when using any other program.
Adobe is IMPOSSIBLE to talk to.....you can't talk to anyone there. If you have a problem with an Adobe product ...good luck
Any help would be GREEEEAAAATLY appreciated!!
Maybe O Bama could fix it.....he seems to have all the answers. Reply to da | 118 Redrider, on Monday November 10, 2008 08:47:14 PMI have the same problem.
Can't download in IE7 or Firefox.
I created another user and put that user in the Admin Group.
I can download from the new acct. but the original user is still a no-go. Reply to Redrider | 122 willow, on Monday November 24, 2008 05:50:07 PMHi, i have been surfing the net for a friend of mine. She has the same problem. Everything seems to download fine until you wanna find the file.
Was just wondering if you can up with any solutions on how to solve this very annoying prob.
Look forward to hearing from you Reply to willow | 123 Tdog, on Friday November 28, 2008 09:06:18 PMI had the same problem, and I found the solution. I think AVG did something to Internet Explorer's security settings, so I uninstalled it and went here:
http://kb.mozillazine.org/...
"Firefox 3 may block downloads of all executable files if the Windows Internet security option, "Launching applications and unsafe files" is set to "Disable". This setting is misleading, since downloading is also blocked. This security option is available on Windows Vista and Windows XP systems with Internet Explorer 7 installed. To change the setting, open Internet Options (via Control Panel or from Internet Explorer -> Tools) and click the Security tab. With the Internet zone icon highlighted, click the Custom level... button. A list of security settings for the Internet zone will appear. Find the "Launching applications and unsafe files" setting (under Miscellaneous) and select "Prompt (recommended)" "
Changing the security settings fixed the problem. I also disabled Firefox's automatic virus scan. Make sure downloads are enabled in the security settings as well. Good luck. Reply to Tdog |

I also had the same problem. Been driving me nuts but uninstalled AVG 8.0 and following the reboot the problem has been resolved and the downloads with explorer are working again. Hope this works for you too. Reply to Drago | 132 Frank, on Wednesday December 10, 2008 07:06:24 AMWhat is AVG?, can someone spell it so I can find it?...I'm having the same issue with vista and can't find a solution Reply to Frank |

| 127 papa, on Thursday December 4, 2008 08:03:32 PMVery funny...you right though Obama is the new messy, and the devil microsoft , they still get it wrong bl...dy vista Reply to papa | 144 slwtheeldergeek, on Tuesday January 13, 2009 01:14:12 PMI'm having the same problems with files not downloading to a visable location. I can watch them populate the download folder, then they disappear. I'm using Vista Business. This just started a couple of weeks ago. It's not happening on my XP machines, only Vista. Both machines have all updates and are using Panda Antivirus.
Help! Reply to slwtheeldergeek | Come on ...Guys i m using Vista and have no problems with it, actually when it downloads the downloaded file save in Downloads Folder, and if you can not find it why can't you search for it that's the easiest way.any way there is another thing that when you download file and do not choose a location than it goes in (Temp Folder) which you can find in >>C:/Windows>>>Temp. Good Luck Reply to shani47 |

| 167 hihi, on Wednesday March 25, 2009 10:14:03 PMI uninstalled AVG and download works again. AVG is in C: Program files\AVG\AVG8\setup.exe i think, and it allow you to uninstall. Reply to hihi | 168 rs, on Saturday March 28, 2009 04:19:03 AMUninstalling the AVG seems to have done the trick for me. Reply to rs |

| 159 Gander7, on Thursday March 12, 2009 12:51:43 AMActually it is the truth because I can this problem with both IE and firefox. Reply to Gander7 |
| 166 Mike, on Wednesday March 25, 2009 08:54:58 PMThe issue IS with Firefox too. I know because I have BOTH IE7 & Firefox and NEITHER can download. The problem is in the Internet Options Security settings, it won't let you change from Medium-High to just Medium. I change it and it always goes back. Reply to Mike |
| 187 tommycee, on Wednesday April 29, 2009 06:10:33 PMThis does happen with firefox im afraid, my son uses it on his laptop and cannot get anything to download, he tried with ie and got exact same result, we will try the avg fix and see what happens Reply to tommycee | 196 maz, on Friday June 19, 2009 07:49:42 AMSorry mate but that's a load of bullshit. Firefox does not have this download problem. a dialogue box pops up, right click and go to file location. An utter lie mate! Reply to maz | 200 caye, on Tuesday June 23, 2009 06:59:43 AMNot true: both IE and F have this problem! Reply to caye |
