Downloads disappearing; cannot save attachments.

[Guest JohnMcG]

I had my wife's account set up as Administrator. I set it back to standard

user. Since then, whenever we download a file through IE7, it seems to work

(downloads to 100%), then the dialog disappears, and the file is not in the

target location. It seems like it gets moved, since if I download to the

Desktop, I see an icon, that then disappears. Restoring the account to

Administrator did not resolve the problem.

 

Downloads through Firefox work correctly.

 

We do not have Norton or McAfee installed. We have AVG. Uninstalling it

did not resolve the problem.

 

In what I think is a related problem, we cannot save or open e-mail

attachments from Windows Mail. (I have unchecked the "do not allow download

of files that may contain viruses).

 

Disabling User Account Control resolves the download problem, but not the

attachment problem.
