Re: 'save target as' not working properly

Hi Steve :-)

A full Cache can often cause download problems, first try the following:

Clearing the Temporary Internet Cache -

and

Try IEFix: http://windowsxp.mvps.org/IEFIX.htm

If still no joy, try a system restore to a date and time prior to installing
the Windows Defender Beta, and see if that will help. If that is not
possible, or does not resolve the problem, then
try a repair of your OS. You can try the INF method, or the following. It
is an simple repair, but, either way, I strongly suggest that you back up
any valuable data first.

When I try to download a file using 'save target as' in IE6 SP2, all works
as usual at first. I am offered a choice of place to save, downloading
seems to begin as normal but then the saving screen disappears suddenly
and no file has been downloaded. All files seem to be affected. There is
a background to this. I uninstalled Windows Defender Beta2 and
SpyWareblaster recently. Uninstallation did not go smoothly with Windows
Defender. Sfc /scannow shows no problem. Any ideas? I am familiar with
using regedit.

Is reinstalling IE6 using the INF method (I have made a slipstreamed
version of XP Pro SP2 and have it on my hard drive) likely to correct the
fault?.
