Re: downloaded files disappear...actually never appear

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry


I'm having the same problem. My "missing downloads" situation persists
with NO Firewall, NO AV, NO UAC, Reset IE7 OR Newly installed Firefox
(downloaded via another PC), One original User ADMIN account all running
in Genuine Vista Ulitmate X86, SP1 and fully updated on a new Lenovo
X61T.

Whenever I try to download something if I click Run the download
progress window will show but once it reaches 100% it will just
dissappear. Nothing runs and no files exist.

If I click Save, same thing happens except there is no file.

Usually, if I click Save, the download progress window would appear and
then once finished (100%) it will give me the option to open the folder
or run the file. This window does not appear (or the download window
doesn't change to this) at the completion of the download-save process.

Hard to find info on this problem as most people just seem to turn off
UAC or have some spyware, AV or admin settings. I normally run AVG Free
on my computers and running it or not makes no difference. Windows
firewall makes no difference. No spyware scanners installed. No virues
found by fully updated AVG or Defender either.

Can anyone help with this?

Thanks in advance.
