    Not able to download files with IE 11


    I suddenly am unable to download anything with windows 7 and IE11. This just started. I can download using Foxfire however. Any suggestions? I have tried disabling pop up blocker with no luck.

    Hey mate,

    Try a simple reset first: Internet Explorer - Reset

    Make sure you are not using any add-ons that you didn't want to be enabled. Some of them are pretty horrible that you didn't even intend to have installed.

    Thanks for the quick reply and answer to my problem!! Yes, I know what you mean about nasty ad ons. I recently had a problem with hijackers in IE. I finally got rid of all that.
    I hadn't been able lately to print from att and yahoo emails and now I can both download things and print my emails.
    Thanks a lot and have a great day. I will mark this as solved.
