Re: Can no longer download file using Win XP

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

That is different.

No doubt you mean CSV not CVS?

You set this for each file type, e.g. for .csv
Windows Explorer-Tools-Folder Options-File Types
Find the .CSV association (may be Microsoft Office Excel Comma
Separated Values File)
Edit, (or click Advanced on ME or XP) and check the "Confirm open
after download" box

The path to Folder Options may vary according to your operating
system. It may be:
Explorer-View-Folder Options
Explorer-Tools-Folder Options
Start-Settings-Folder Options
Start-Settings-Control Panel-Folder options.

Alan, sorry I guess I didn't make it clear. When I try to download the
CVS file it doesn't even ask me where I want to save it. It just starts
download to the web page in Text. When I tried Quicken & Money, it
did ask where to save it (like normal).
Thanks !

Can you please try and rephrase your question?
You say it asks you where you want to save it. If you tell it where,
then surely you are downloading it?
I assume you are using Internet Explorer?

Not sure if this is the site's problem so something with Win XP ?
Of course the site help desk immediately says it's Win XP so I
need help.

I previously was able to download and account file (CVS format) to
my old Win98SE PC with no problem. I tried to do it using my new
Win XP Media 2005 PC and it won't do it. It does come up with
the windows which asks me where I want to save it, although if
I try to download the same file in Quicken or Money it works. It
ends up downloading to a web page in text format.

Any ideas what's happening here ?

I have a Dell Inspirion 1505 with Dual Core Processor
1 gb memory / 1 gb hard drive / Using the McAfee suite that came
with it.
