Download problems in IE6.0

I can't download programs from the web.  If I click on a dowload application, another window opens with a broken icon in the upper left corner and the download stops.

Hi litlil,
sound like a link association?

try
I want to Run not Download!

You have to set this for EACH type of file extension you want it to work on

Open Windows Explorer (Press [windowskey] +E)

CLick View > Folder options )

CLick the "file types" tab

Scroll down to the type of file you require eg .ZIP file (Press Z to jump there)

NOTE .EXE files are under application

CLick EDIT

Clear the check box marked "confirm open after download"

Click OK

CLick OK

From command line - USEFULL IF YOU CANT BOOT

If you can get the system to boot you can run from the GUI

System File Checker checks for damaged or replaced system files, and then prompts you to replace any files that do not match the original Windows 98 files.

To start System File Checker, follow these steps:
Click Start, point to Programs, point to Accessories, point to System Tools, click System Information, and then click System File Checker on the Tools menu.
Click one of the following options:
Scan For Altered Files
Extract One File From Installation Disk

NOTE: If you click Extract One File From Installation Disk, you can specify the file you want to extract.


Click Settings, choose the configuration you want to use in System File Checker Settings, click OK, and then click Start.


YOU WILL NEED YOUR 98  CD HANDY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
