Right clicking on the link and choosing "save as" saves the html code? Can you see where the link is pointing? It sounds like it points to another page that is perhaps trying to open in another window and is being blocked by a popup blocker.

This is only affecting me. Save As will save the HTML code, not the file. FTP would affect others, but this is only me. The logs show this is port 80 traffic.

Perhaps right clicking on the link and choosing "save as" will yield something different. This happen to all users to the same file/location or just you? FTP blocked perhaps? Some "downloads" come from FTP sites. We block ftp access here which sounds like similar results to what you are seeing. _____ From: Reimer, Mark [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, February 28, 2008 1:01 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: OK, I'm lost... Downloading files in IE 6 or 7. 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.
