Re: Can't download file from web site

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

I've come to realize that there are many things that can go wrong with PCs
with all the junk we have on them these days. Sometimes it's just the luck of
the draw whether things work or they don't.

Thanks again for sticking with me to the end!

woo-hoo !! Good going, Linda. (what's strange is that the ftp link worked for me on Sunday the 5th.) It worked for you & that's all that matters.

Thanks for the help.

My security settings were already enabled. I did not have any of the
utilities listed installed on my PC.

I tried downloading it again this evening after work and - wonder of
wonders
- it worked! My suspicion is that their server was down and if that's
the case, they don't fix it until the weekend is over. That's the only
explanation I have.

I very much appreciate your help. Have a great rest of the day!

Linda,
Yes I can download.

Take a look at your Internet Explorer browser's settings. Tools>
Internet Options> Security settings. For whatever security zone it
is set at, look under the Security Settings tab -- at "Downloads"
File download. See if it is "Disable" d or "Enable" d .

Have you ever installed a utility like Netzip , or a download
manager, before all this? A long, long time ago, I had Netzip and
it caused headaches later on, for downloads that I wanted to save.

Go to Control Panel , carefully into Add Remove Programs. Scan the
whole list. See if you have any of these:

Bonzi Buddy
NetOP
NetPopup
Netzip
At Guard
Ilexia
Netgo
* Get Right *
Internet Boost 99
Web Cellerator
Net Sonic Pro 2.0
Micrografx Flowcharter 7
Fast Net 99
Web Turbo
Internet Boost 99
Web Early

Micro Surfer
No More Ads
Turbo Explorer

Cheyenne Web Browser Anti-Virus.
Zip Magic

If you have 1, I'd suggest removing it. Also within the suspects
would be other browser add-ons intended to stop web ads. It 'may'
even be your antivirus program's security module -- maybe it's set
too high.


You may try (ever so briefly) turn off your firewall &
antivirus/security program. Close IE browser. Retry the download.
Re-activate firewall & AV afterwards.

See http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=816037 check on your
version of Urlmon.dll
