Re: downloaded files disappear...actually never appear

I am running Ultimate and IE7.
I do not get the same messages as you do when I save a download.
When I select to download a file a dialog box appears with the header saying: "File Download".
In the box the message says: "Do you want to open or save this file ?".
There are then 3 buttons, Open , Save and Cancel.
Then underneath those a warning message about harmful files from the internet etc.

If I select Save another box opens up asking where to save to. I select Desktop.
Then another box opens with the header bar a repeat of the progress bar, 0 to 100% etc.
The only option on this box is to close the box when download is complete.

When the download is complete the box just says "Download complete" and stays there until I close it.
I get no option on what to do with the file once it is downloaded.

As we are seeing different messages could it be you have some sort of download manager installed ?[/quote]


Dave, Looks like you are having some sort of security related download issue. Your problem is not the same as mine. Your problem may deal with the UAC situation but I'm not sure.
