| | Download Complete - Window does not close (VISTA Ultimate SP1) Has anyone had any problems downloading files and having the download window never closes? Steps to replicate: 1. Open Web Page 2. Select File to Download 3. Watch the file begin to download 4. Download screen will say "Verifying" 5. The download gets to 99% and it never closes. Why would the window remain on the screen, but the file be downloaded properly? Makes no sense! Any ideas?? |

| | Re: Download Complete - Window does not close I would go to the site for the download using the browser 'run as admin'. This turns off "Protected Mode" for the browser, not the best thing, but would tell you if the site has some problem with that. Rightclick a Command Prompt icon on start, click 'run as admin' and type: start iexplore (note indicator on bottom status bar about protected mode: off) -- Was this helpful? Then click the Ratings button. Voting helps the web interface. http://www.microsoft.com/wn3/locales...eAPostAsAnswer Mark L. Ferguson ..

| | Re: Download Complete - Window does not close No kidding, but how does that fix my IE7 problem? (I already use FF and IE. Neither one is perfect.)
