Internet Explorer Question

[NSchnarr]

I know this doesnt belong in this forum but i firure ill get the best answer here... I use Internet Explorer to use the internet, i have cable internet and heres the problem. When i try to download anything threw internet explorer it wont dl.. For Example: I tried u dl Starfish's Spamball. what happened it internet explorer opened a new window but nothing happened it didnt bring up the download prompt.. i have tried other sites as well so i know it wasnt the site... i have also tride to right click on the file and save target as... but that doesnt work either... anyways its really pissing me off and i hope someone here knows what the problem is.

rather than try and fix the problem (which is probably due to some privacy or security setting) - I recommend switching to a decent browser.

But, if thats not an option, check the privacy and security settings as I've said (I don't feel like checking, doing so would require me to run IE - but I'm fairly sure there's some options regarding the ability to download files in there)

Try opera, and ~moved

yeah your probably screwed with your interent settings... so the file IS downloading.. its just downloading into a temp folder somewhere.... or something else i dunno.

or just not downloading...

my recommendation is Mozilla (Firebird), though opera is good as well.

I use IE just fine. What does Opera, or Firebird offer that IE doesn't?
