Re: downloaded files disappear...actually never appear

I'm having the same problem. My "missing downloads" situation persists with NO Firewall, NO AV, NO UAC, Reset IE7 OR Newly installed Firefox (downloaded via another PC), One original User ADMIN account all running in Genuine Vista Ulitmate X86, SP1 and fully updated on a new Lenovo X61T.

Whenever I try to download something if I click Run the download progress window will show but once it reaches 100% it will just dissappear. Nothing runs and no files exist.

If I click Save, same thing happens except there is no file.

Usually, if I click Save, the download progress window would appear and then once finished (100%) it will give me the option to open the folder or run the file. This window does not appear (or the download window doesn't change to this) at the completion of the download-save process.

Hard to find info on this problem as most people just seem to turn off UAC or have some spyware, AV or admin settings. I normally run AVG Free on my computers and running it or not makes no difference. Windows firewall makes no difference. No spyware scanners installed. No virues found by fully updated AVG or Defender either.

Can anyone help with this?

Thanks in advance.
