Mime types may be messed up?

 

Is it at just one web site, or any website with a download link?

Internet options>security>custom level>enable downloads or access data
sources across domains maybe?

There is a setting in tools, advanced that you can check....ability to
download files.  Maybe someone turned yours off?

Hi folks,

 

I've got two computers that won't download files. I've tried multiple
sites, all have the same problem (of downloading).

 

One runs IE6, the other IE7.

 

We have a corporate firewall, but others in the organization are fine
(running both IE6 or IE7, fully patched XP, SP2), and testing outside
the firewall doesn't help the situation.

 

Both can surf just fine, and when a file is clicked to download, the
save as dialog box comes up, and after it is filled, and OK is pressed,
it just stops.

 

Both computers are running XP, SP2, fully patched.

 

XP firewall can be on or off, doesn't matter.

 

Logging in as another user doesn't help. Both I and the other user are
domain admins.

 

I have blown away my profile (c:\documents and settings\my username) on
the IE6 machine, and that doesn't help.

 

I have uninstalled and reinstalled IE7 on the IE7 machine. That doesn't
help.

 

Spyware scan reveals nothing.

 

I don't think I have anything in GPO's (which would affect only me).

 

Any ideas? I sure would appreciate them.

 

Thanks.
