Hi, my girlfriend bought a new laptop with Vista SP1 recently and at one point she wasn't able to open any attached files in her e-mail on hotmail.com. She was using IE7 so I tried downloading Firefox, but same error, I couldn't save it on the drive or open the setup directly. I sent the setup file through the network and installed it on her machine. I also updated IE to IE8. However with both I got the same kind of error.
with IE8, the download starts and at the end it just stops for no reason. if I try to open the file when the download screen disappears nothing will pop up and if I try saving the files somewhere on the HDD it won't be there even if I saw the download window. btw the downloading windows disappears at the end of the download even if the "Close this dialog box when download is complete" unchecked
With Firefox if I try to open or save the file it will tell me that the file is empty(for PPS it tells me that the show contains no slides). on firefox if I save the file somewhere on the HDD I will see it but windows tells me that this file is empty (btw I tried downloading all those files on my computer and it works)
after a few tries on firefox I managed to open some files and slideshow but most of them still dont work.
I tried running IE without any add-ons (read that somewhere) but it didnt work.
I really don't know what is going on with her machine and I can't seems to find anyone with this kind of problem anywhere (and I looked a lot on the internet to find something similar)
Please help me.
and please don't tell I have to re-install her windows... that would... really sadden me
