jacobdouds Posted June 4, 2002 Share Posted June 4, 2002 Okay, my Internet Explorer has being paying up recently. And this is the current issue.No matter where I go, if I try to download something, it will take me to the link to the FTP location.But then, it will either say, access forbidden, which happens anyway. Or it will come up with the page not found error. Or, it will take me to a blank page, and do nothing. For example, the patches at westwood.com. I just can't download. Nothing, why why why!!!??

Nyarlathotep Posted June 4, 2002 Share Posted June 4, 2002 You did check the security settings in IE (press "custom level" to see details) ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nyarlathotep Posted June 4, 2002 Share Posted June 4, 2002 Well, there is an option that can disable downloads..what happens if you right click on the link and choose "save target as" ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nyarlathotep Posted June 4, 2002 Share Posted June 4, 2002 Boring question, I know, but what changed recently since it worked ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacobdouds Posted June 4, 2002 Author Share Posted June 4, 2002 Well, I installed a lot of things like Get Right utilities, and other things like Opera browser. But I uninstalled these and it still won't work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nyarlathotep Posted June 4, 2002 Share Posted June 4, 2002 Did you change anything concerning the IE settings ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacobdouds Posted June 4, 2002 Author Share Posted June 4, 2002 Not that I know of.But you know, when a picture is still about to load, a little blue and red square comes u. Very small, in the left hand corner, that also comes up sometimes when I click on download links.Its like my browser is trying to open them in a new window, rather then download them.
