Hey Philip,
I never really solved the problem,but came up with a work-around for it. I
had "Free Download Manager" installed and I now use that to view and download
things. A little of a hassle,but until I figure(or someone else does) it
out,this is the temporary solution for me...maybe you have a similar
downloading program installed? I hope you find a solution.Please let me know(
and I will do the same),if you find it.Thanks-George

Hi.
I am having the same problems you are in terms of being able to download
files. Al of the steps you pointed out I have completed as well.
What was the solution for your issue?

When was the last time you deleted the files from the Temporary Internet
files folder?
When you download a file, what is your save location?
Have you created a save location or it is going to Temporary Internet files
folder?

Can anybody please help? Thanks-George
The downloads start-look like they are downloading-then the
download screen blinks off-then nothing! No download-no
file-nothing.

Give an example.
Anything in the Event Log?
Tried in Firefox or an alternative browser?

as the pdf file.I do not have any other browsers,and really do not
want any others.I also tried a restore point,but it didn't work.I
unistalled and re-downloaded adobe,but that didn't fix it.As far as
the event log,I have no clue about this.Thanks-George
So.. What I am reading now is that the only file(s) you are having
trouble
with are Adobe PDFs.
Two things to try..
1) Go download a PDF and SAVE it - do not open it. Then open Adobe
Acrobat
Reader and do a File --> Open and open the file.. Does that work?
2) Change Adobe Acrobat Reader so that it opens "inside the browser" *if*
it
is not set that way now - and set it to NOT open "inside the browser" if
it
is set to open in the browser window. Then try your download again.
Otherwise.. You need to uninstall Adobe Acrobat Reader completely.
You'll then have to reboot, log in as an administrative level user, open
registry editor and delete all Adobe Acrobat related keys.
You'll then have to look through your hard drive (Program Files.. Program
Files\Common.. Etc..) and delete every directory related to Adobe
Acrobat.
Reboot.
Download the latest Adobe Acrobat Reader (7.0.7) and install it.
