IE Problem, anyone ever see this?

[N_Jay]

I can not download anything.

It starts and runs the download dialog box.
Downloads the file (to who knows where)
Then the dialog box closes (even though I have it set to stay open)
AND the file is not in the folder.
A search of my PC can not find the file anywhere.

Help!

LOL, Well, It seems was hit by a hacker, and looking at most hacker news sites they hate Bush, so I guess you are right.

See PT, I do give you credit where it is deserved!

When saving the file, note carefully where its going,
then when looking for the file, ensure you have all files selected on winexplorer

Did a search, figuring it was ending up in another folder or a temp folder, nope, just disappears.

It must be lost somewhere on the Internets ... Al Gore wouldn't let that happen!

Your first mistake was using IE.

Get Firefox

any particular reason you prefer IE? or you just don't want to install another software?

No particular reason, except I like keeping the system mostly MS.

I have licenses for everything MS, and don't really go for the "Open Source" line of thinking.

this may help:

* clear IE's cache
* restart IE
* look for IE process in task manager and kill it if it's still running after you've quit out of IE
* restart computer

for me, I simply use what's best, and right now that's firefox (on windows and linux).

Keeping it car related...

Now, that's brand loyalty. FWIW, I'm just the opposite. For every single MS product I've ever tried (and no, I haven't tried them all), I've found something that is better in almost every way, and most of those were OS projects.

I am somewhat partial to Adobe products, however. Stable, reliable, well designed UIs and good documentation. Expensive, but what do I care if my boss is footing the bill. I personally haven't paid for a software license in about 10 years (except for universal Windows Tax every time I by a computer).
