When I try and download anything i get the following 
error in a warning box. 
"Internet explorer cannot download ... from ... com
Internet explorer was not able to open this internet 
site. The requested site is either unavailable or cannot 
be found. Please try again later"
I have been trying to open pdfs and am not downloading 
anything from untrusted sources. My security settings 
seem to be ok and I am not behind a firewall and have a 
virus checker too.
Anybody got any ideas?
Many thanks 
David
