perhaps you cant download from that link, have you tried clicking on it instead? Can you download things at all or just in this situation?

I can't download anything from anywhere, microsoft updates, hotmail etc. I can get to the sites but when it goes to ask me where to save it or open it, it gives me the error.

i dont know what the cause is.

but a good recomendation no matter what the prob is conserning IE... is to use Firefox... www.mozilla.org

too bad jupitersjones can't download firefox. seriously, if you can view webpages, you are basically downloading those pages, this is a really weird problem that i have never seen before. i have seen where a couple downloads don't work due to the site missing those files, or if it's a password site, but just plain not to be able to download any file?

one question, if you use P2P clients, do those downloads work?

I am not 100% sure yet, but I think this could be a spyware or a virus. I have heard of this before but never looked into it much. Your best bet is to go to a friends house and download spyware removers and virus removers. Also i would download Firefox. If the problem still persists then I dont know what you should do. Bang your head pointlessly against the wall, i guess.:beard:
