OT- Internet Explorer Download Problem

nilodor · 04-22-2003, 08:24 PM

My problem is I can not download any files for the internet. For example I can not download a zip file from the underdogs or worse yet, I can not download/view the pdf solutions for my classes. The later is especially bad considering I am writing final exams right now! I have pleanty of space on my hard drive, I have checked the security settings and downloads are enabled. I am using the newest version of IE, any help would be appriciated.

do you mean it cuts out during the download?

are you on a 2400 baud?

nilodor · 04-23-2003, 12:11 AM

I mean it won't let me download anything. I click on it and it times out. Which is very strange considering i have a cable connection. I just get a message that says IE can not open this site.

Airhog · 04-23-2003, 12:14 AM

hmm, try looking at your settings, and try having it autodetect that may fix it.

dacman · 04-23-2003, 12:14 AM

underdogs is very hit and miss, I time out there frequently -- try downloading somewhere else. Are you behind a firewall?

nilodor · 04-23-2003, 02:02 PM

Nope not behind a firewall. It will not let me download anything. I can just view web pages. Does not matter what site.
Airhog, where is this autodetect you speak of?

Get a download manager like Go!Zilla or something.

nilodor · 04-23-2003, 10:41 PM

oykib, tried that and doesn't work. The problem is not is that it can not connect to download. Its like explorer can not even find the file.

oykib · 04-23-2003, 10:44 PM

Connect through proxy server.

Thanks for the patience but its still not working and now I'm in the run around loop with iternet support. Microsoft won't help me because my product came from with my computer so they said talk to HP, who say to talk to Microsoft. What a world. Any other help would be appreciated.

Last time I had wierd problems like that, my motherboard was going out.

Do you have Netscape downloaded anywhere? Have you tried it?

Airhog · 04-24-2003, 12:43 AM

look at this webpage....

http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=183506

also I read that if you have Go!zilla installed, and it is corrupted it can cause you not being able to download.

if it only is happening on Ftp sites then its a bug with IE6.0 go grab the patch.

If nothing else works, go redownload the latest version of IE, and make sure you install the SP1

Airhog · 04-24-2003, 01:00 AM

one last thing I found

Click 'TOOLS', then 'INTERNET OPTIONS' and then the 'SECURITY' tab.
Next click the 'CUSTOM LEVEL' button and drill down to the Downloads
section. Be sure the 'File download' selection is marked 'Enable'.

nilodor · 04-24-2003, 12:01 PM

It was allready enabled, I;ve got a buddy of mine who is going to burn the freebie internet explorer download on a cd for me. Thanks for the help guys. AgPete, I hope your wrong about that motherboard thing. Last thing I need is a wigged out mother.

nilodor · 04-24-2003, 02:34 PM

Worse news, i started up the internet explorer setup and than it tried to download stuff from the internet, which it can't do. Now i've put in an email to HP and it looks like I might get some service, they have not referred me back to microsoft yet.

Airhog · 04-24-2003, 02:36 PM

hmmm did your friend get the version of the download that doesnt require the internet?

there are two versions if I recall correctly

nilodor · 04-24-2003, 06:57 PM

Where would i find this version? I knew there was one but I couldn't find it at tucows or microsoft. HP has given me a few idea but they have not worked as of yet.
