Problem when downloading
Hi,

I have IE 5.5 and win98. When i click on a link to run an exe file or a pdf document from the web i get a blank page and nothing happens. But on the top left corner of the screen is an image file (you know where there is a square, triangle and circle in a little box).

I dont know why this is happening, it didnt used to happen before. Has it got something to do with my IE preferences/settings? Can someone please tell me how i can fix this?

Thanks.

Right click 'Save As' works but its a hassle when dealing with pdf files, i have to download it to my comp before viewing them. Also some pages redirect you to the download programs after clicking a link, so 'saving as' only saves the link.

And that happens with only pdfs or with all files? Check acrobat reader's settings...
