I have a laptop (Dell Vostro) and a desktop (Dell Optoflex 790) with Windows Seven (*64). Both have Processor i5 and 8 GB RAM.
Some applications would not open when using my desktop. However, the same applications will open on my laptop.
I noticed a difference between the desktop and the laptop.
In the laptop a yellow dialogue box opens at the bottum of the screen asking to choose to RUN or SAVE. Once I clicked on RUN, the aplication will open.
However, the dialogue box (RUN or SAVE) is not visible in the Destop.
I think that the application did not open in the desktop because the dialogue box was not visible in the desktop screen and therefore, I could not choose "RUN" or "SAVE".
I checked for a virus using Malwarbytes and Trends Client and found none
Welcome to Seven Forums pksone. I take it this is actually trying to download a program from the web? Which browser are you using (based on your description, IE?)? Are you using the same browser, and version on both?
OK, that is called the notification bar. This right?
Ironically there is no known way to turn it off, so it is almost impossible to find a fix for if it is not displaying. Here is what I would suggest 1st.
Open IE> Tools> Internet Options> Advanced tab> Reset internet explorer settings> Reset button
You can also try
Open IE> Tools> Internet Options> Security tab> Click on Internet icon> Scroll down to Security level for this zone> Custom level button> Reset custom settings> Reset button
I tried your suggestions and they did not resolve the problem. I searched the internet and found that there are incompatibility issues between WE9 and Adobe acrobat. I also called Adobe support and they confirmed that incompatibility was a problem. Adobe plans to update Acrobat to avoid the incompatibility.
Is is an enigma that I can download a PDF file on my laptop since it has the same operatiing system (Windows 9), WE9 and the same Adobe Acrobat X reader as my destop that can not download open a PDF file.
I installed Google Chrome and can use it to download the PDF file. Therefore, I plan to use Google Chrome for this purpose.
I did resolve the issue for my purposes. However, can you unravel the enigma why my laptop can while my destop cannot? :sarc:
No As I say, it's hard to find instances of the notification bar not working. Perhaps create a new user on the desktop PC, and see if it works there. You might also try IE (No add-ons) and see if it works there.
Start> In search box type Internet Explorer No Add-ons> Enter
DELL support looked into my problem. The found out that when I used WE-64 bit, the problem did not occur. They felt something was blocking opening the PDF file when using WE-64bit. Therefore, I plan to use WE-64bit or Google Chrome from now on. There is still an enigma but I learned to bypass the problem.
