Items will not run after being downloaded? - Joshuah A. Wetzel - 25-08-2006 Hey everyone, I am having some trouble with my computer. I didn't know where to post this, so this is kind of "off the subject." Anyways, after I download stuff to my computer, it will not run! It doesn't matter what I download. For example: let's say I want to download "Google Earth" for instance. It will come up with a pop-up saying "Are you sure you would like to download this file..." and everything like that. I will click yes, and it will commence it's downloading process. After it has finished, there will be another pop-up saying "Do you wish to run this file?" I will click yes again, and nothing happens! It's like I never downloaded it. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Re: Items will not run after being downloaded? - DBE - 25-08-2006 Can you run the stuff manually? I.e. go to your download folder and run the exe files. Re: Items will not run after being downloaded? - Joshuah A. Wetzel - 25-08-2006 No. As I said before, when clicking on the download icon, it comes up with a pop-up and asks "Do you wish to run or save this file?" I will click save, and it will start downloading. After it's done, I will go into the folder that I saved it in, and it's not there! ![]() Re: Items will not run after being downloaded? - timcclayton - 25-08-2006 What are you downloading with - i.e. which browser? Re: Items will not run after being downloaded? - DBE - 25-08-2006 What antivirus software are you running? Can you disable it for a sec and try downloading something again? Re: Items will not run after being downloaded? - Joshuah A. Wetzel - 25-08-2006 I am using Microsoft Internet Explorer. The antivirus software i currently have is AVG Free Addition. I will try disabling it and report back. |
