Re: Can't download a CSV file in XP Media that I could in Win98SE

Presumably you're running IE (Internet Explorer) and no add-ins...

In IE, click Tools | Internet Options, go to the Security tab, click on the Internet globe (it's blue and green and sort of looks like our planet). Click on the Custom Level button. You will get a panel labelled Security Setting. It is a bit daunting...

Scroll through the settings and look for check boxes pertaining to scripting. Try changing these settings - BUT keep a record of your changes. It's very easy to get confused (I know!).

Actually there's an easier way to experiment. I forgot it 'cause I don't use it. Below the above-mentioned huge and daunting list of things to check or uncheck is a drop-down list of security levels (High, Medium, Medium-Low, and Low; mine is Medium). Try a lower one of these without going into the other box and see if it helps.

*Important Note* I am not an expert. If I had your problem, I would have to experiment as above until it started to work (or failed).

Thanks again for the reply Gino. Where do I check to see if Scripts
are blocked. I've only had XP for a week now and am still getting
acquainted. I figure it's something in my PC since I was able to
successfully download the CSV file on my son's pc.
Thanks

You can't download it? I read your post carelessly, I see...

I saw that you had trouble opening the file, and misinterpreted that it was downloaded already, and the problem was on your computer. I apologize for that.

IIRC, 'asp' is a kind of scripting language; perhaps when you click on the link you need to say 'run' instead of download. Also check to see if your browser is set to block scripts.

BTW, I have similar problems with certain sites in my usual browser, which is Firefox, and I have to switch to Internet Explorer to download successfully at those sites.

I hope I interpreted this correctly now! However, I *am* a bit out of my depth...

Thanks Gino.........but..........if I can download it on my son's
laptop which has Win XP (older version) why am I have trouble
on my Media Ed 2005 ? The bank says it's not their fault, like
so many help desks. They all seem to blame it on the OS until
you can prove it's not the OS>
Thanks!

Have a new Dell Inspirion laptop with dual core processor using
Windows XP Media Edition 2005. 1gb Mem and 100 gb HD.

I previously was able to download and account file (CSV 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 not come up with
the window which asks me where I want to save it, although if
I tried to download the same file in Quicken or Money, it worked as
it always used to. I also was able to download it successfully with
my son's laptop which has Win XP on it.

When I click on "download" it says, "transferring file:
"https:/www.xxxxonlinebanking.org/account/historydownload.asp"
and then it appears as a txt file on a web page. The I close it and
get the error report
"missing file: https:/www.xxxxonlinebanking.org/xxxxxxxstyle.css"

(The xxx's are to protect the actual name of the bank.)

Is this something with my Win XP or the bank's program.

Thanks in advance for the help !

The css (cascading style ***) file is the key used to decode the file's format. It's part of the bank's software, but I have no idea how to reclaim it.

Call the bank or post on their newsgroup :-)
