got a really wierd problem, when I click on a download in IE 6 it some times goes to normal save dialog box and everything is fine, then other times it wont display the save box it will just auto save the file in a temporary directory then opens the file, also outlook will not let me save certain files the box to save is just greyed out, seemed to happen at the same time, I've got NAV 2002 with the up to date definitions and ZAP pro with high security.
 
bump! any 1 got any ideas other than formatting?
 
I have the same problem but it doesn't bother me. You don't have to format your computer over such little problem, do you? :-D
 
you could right click and save as everytime you downloads :p
 
haha I know what you mean it could be the smallest thing in the world but some times it just bugs the hell out of you!:D
 
yeah the right click and save should allow you to save to your specified directory... if it is a video/audio file or an exe file it will open if you click without saving and that is not so good when it is a virus or a porn program :D they are all viruses...

so right click and save if you must

no need to format..
 
its all in the files associations stuff, but I can't be bothered to look at it now
 
I'll have a look around tonight, this happened after installing SP1 1068 btw...

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?

Impressed you have kept this alive this long EP! So many sites have come and gone. :(

Just did some crude math and I apparently joined almost 18yrs ago, how is that possible???
