| | Downloading Problems with vista this morning i logged on and when I tried to download pictures from my email I received the message below. I then went to a few other sites to try to download and I kept getting the same message. I ran a system restore. It didn't help. I am a newbie with vista and the whole computer world. Thanks for any and all help. Message I get when trying to download anything.... C:\Users\COMPAQ~1\AppData\Local\Temp\IeyYtbA3.exe.part could not be saved, because the source file could not be read. Try again later, or contact the server administrator. -- hoth2o |

| Windows XP Proffesional x64, Windows Vista Ultimate x64, Windows 2008 Server x64 | Re: Downloading Problems with vista Hi, from the description you provided, today is probably your lucky day  Pictures (binary digital images) usually have these extensions: .jpg, .png, .bmp, .tga, .tif, .tiff Pictures (vectorized images) usually have these extensions: .svg, .cmx, .emf, .wmf, .cdr, .cmx, .ai, .ps, .eps Executables usually have these extensions (after installation of the Windows operating system, I took these from PATHEXT environment variable, visible when you type set and press enter key from Command Prompt): .COM, .EXE, .BAT, .CMD, .VBS, .VBE, .JS, .JSE, .WSF, .WSH, .MSC The extension you are mentioning is .exe, which means that it is an binary file that can be executed on your computer. Usually, when you get similar message that the file "could not be saved, because the source file could not be read" it means that access to it was blocked by some kind of malware-protection you have installed on your machine, which is good. However, if you are completely sure (but how you can be? think about identity theft issues) that the executable image is not lethal, there is very tiny chance that this could be false-positive detection.
