Couldn't be downloaded
Hello:
On a Windows Vista laptop with Internet Explorer service pack 9, no files of any kind can be downloaded. A message says "'X' couldn't be downloaded".
It did not used to be this way.
I have tried all remedies found on the internet, including resetting Internet Explorer settings.
Does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks!

It's only a work around.. What happens if you try and run the download instead of saving it?
Have a look at your most resent windows updates that where installed on your computer especially the once for Internet explorer and start by uninstalling them one by one and then test afterwards..
Reinstalling IE9 completely is also worth a try if you can get hold of the offline full package
Very difficult if you are not able to download.

This is more of a troubleshooting suggestion. If we know that other browsers are working, then we can start looking into IE settings and configurations. If other browsers are not working, we have a bigger issue that is not restricted to IE. This gives a good starting point at what/where to look.

Have you run scans with antivirus and antimalware?
If no help and if changing profile also did not help, you should consider a Repair Install.

It should not affect your personal data or installed programs, but it never hurts to backup first.

Glad you are able to continue downloading now.
As a follow-up, I would suggest doing a full uninstall and reinstall of IE to help try an resolve any outstanding issues. The downloads can be found at http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/internet-explorer/download-ie

If this is something recent, run a System Restore to a time before the problem started.
Is IE9's "Do not save encrypted pages to disk" setting selected?
