Can't Download ANY programs or files.

[artfuld2005]

When I click on something within a website to download a program, I will see the File Download box on the screen but it just stays there and does nothing. The Open, Run or Save buttons never come on for me to click them only Cancel does. And yes I have defragmented, deleted old cookies and Temp Files and still NOTHING. PLEASE ANYONE HELP!!!

Are you using windows Me ? I was thinking of system restore to a few days earlier.

Below is from Microsoft.


How to Start and Use System Restore
To start System Restore, follow these steps: 1. Click Start, point to Programs, point to Accessories, point to System Tools, and then click System Restore.

The first time you use System Restore, there are two options on the Welcome page:
• Restore my computer to an earlier time
• Create a restore point

2. Click Restore my computer to an earlier time and click Next.

A calendar appears.
3. In the calendar, choose which Restore Point to roll your system back to.
4. Click Next.

You are prompted to close all applications before completing the Restore process because the computer will restart.
5. Upon completion of the restart, a confirmation screen appears. Click OK to continue using your computer.
