No, I did not delete personal settings. I always use administrator account when tweaking. UAC setting is default(always notify).

Do you have Explorer set to show file extensions:
File Extensions - Hide or Show
Does the downloaded msert file have an extension?
This has happened to others (as detailed in other forums).
Some have reported that files download normally in the safe mode with networking
(suggested in post 4 of this thread).
If file download normally in the safe mode with networking, then that puts us back to the clean boot
(suggested in post 9 of this thread).
I set it now to NOT HIDE(there is no Show option). I downloaded to desktop. Right clicking icon on desktop does not show run as admn option. I unblocked....after this, the only relevant option is OPEN. And then it shows ten programs to open it and not one opens...wrong file for the program. I need to find the RUN option.
What is the full name of the file that you want to run?
Also, did you do each of the things suggested in he previous posts?
Any file that can be downloaded can be saved to a folder or desktop. But because the only options are OPEN and Save or Save as, (RUN and Run as admn on right click are missing) any saved file is not installable.
Everything suggested in this thread has been done except any step of clean startup process (post # 9) which I had done a few times in the past.
What is the name of one of the files that you cannot run?
