That's so strange, especially since neither Patty or I can reproduce the same message at all and we've tried on all three computers. I know you aren't arguing with me, I can't imagine why you would even think about it. Yes I too would like to know if anybody else is having the same issue. I could host the files myself but they are updated so often that would turn in to a full time task constantly checking for updates and posting them.

Good Morning David; When I click on the appropriate link a window opens and I hear this message; File Download - Security Warning Do you want to save this file? Name: mpam-fe Type: Unknown File Type, 53.3MB From: download.microsoft.com Save Cancel While files from the Internet can be useful, this file type can potentially harm your computer. If you do not trust the source, do not save this software. What's the risk? I pressed the save button and saved the file to Local Disk C. When I go to the C Drive this is what is there, " mpam-fe ". Now if I add " .exe " to the file it will work. Believe me David, I am not trying to argue with you! I am just saying what is happening and I am curious to see how many others have this same result. Take care.

When I click on the link the only options I get are cancel or save. As I explained earlier, when saved, the download does not have a file extension. I have to add it before it will work. Another little tidbit, when I click on the link and get the options, 1 of the things mentioned is file unknown. I am wondering if this might be a settings issue at my end. Not saying I have a whole lot of experience but, this is defintely something I haven't ran into before. Computers, they keep Dr. Phil busy, with me anyway! LOL Take care.

It does it's thing then closes and if you're not paying attention you'll miss it because it goes quite quickly as a matter of fact. It only took a very few seconds to complete it's task after I hit the run button. David Ferrin www.jaws-users.com Life is what happens after you have already made other plans.
