Configuration: Windows Vista Internet Explorer 7.0
There is probably a gap of Vista. In a customer´s computer also something similar happens. When I order to a page download a file, the pop-up start and say if I want to execute the file or save it, I ordered save it in a determinate location on the computer. The process start and seems to be all ok, but when the download process ends I cannot find the file in the place I ordered to save nor in any place in the hard drive. It´s a curious mistery of Vista Premium.
Hope anybody find a solution to this problem. |
Having the same problem.. Any help??? |
Same problem.... piece of crap |
so whats the solution assholes? |
I am experiencing same problem, it does not complete the download, at the end it does not give the option to run or open, I think something is stopping or blocking it, worked yesterday, so going to do a system restore to see if that helps |
Try to uninstall all updates you've installed, it works ;) |
Just go to the control panel and disable UAC. (User Account Control) After a reboot, I re-enabled my UAC and the downloads are still working.
Good luck. PS: I found this answer somewhere on the net. |
I had the same problem, definately related to security updates from Microsoft.
I uninstalled about 6 of the latest security updates and restarted, no change. Did windows update, got the latest of them all and now I can download fine. S |
ok am a novice user: how do i uninstall the security updates, sum1 pls reply back |
