IE8 dosen't save downloads

Unfortunately that didn't work for me. I am still unable to save downloads.

Don't download with your AV turned off.

Do you get the save as and get to choose where to save it?

yes. and i have tried reseting IE's settings, still no fix

have you tried saving it to other locations?

yes (ex my music, documents, C:, etc...) still nothing. and as I've said before I've noticed that the download window disappears before the download is finished. i find that odd.

*edit*
i just remembered that IE can be 'uninstalled' from win 7 rc, right? what if i just did that and then reinstalled it? could that work? has anyone ever done that?

I would probably install Firefox and try downloading using that to see if you can download using anything.

If that works, then you could try uninstalling-reinstalling IE.
