Ok so recently Im now having a problem with saving files. When I download a file and save it to my desktop, I have to refresh the page each time for my download to be visible.. It just seems to be affected with downloading from the internet. If I save a file using paintshop or a regular text file it shows up as soon as I save it..

Please Help!!

I have had the same problem many times. Can download a file to desktop. Nothing shows. But it will be visible in Windows Explorer. Although I can't offer a solution at this stage.

Some browers have malware scanners in them that may make them invisible right after the desktop refreshes....

I've never heard of anything like that. Can you name the browser and provide something that backs it up?

I had just clean installed Win 7 64-bit on my PC & was experiencing similar issues until I was advised by Win 7 Forum members to upgrade my graphic card; even though Win 7 upgrade advisory software said the old card was compatible. This fixed the issue completely.

I am having that same problem PLUS when I delete a file ONLY FROM THE DESKTOP, it is still there UNTIL I refresh it. Bugs.......and Windows will NOT chime in to offer any help. I shoulda stuck with Vista because 7 STINKS!:mad:
