Downloads Not Working

[bintexas14]

Lost the capability to download anything. I have W7 and IE11. When I try to download I get nothing - not an error message or anything. Have tried clearing cookies, etc., rebooting, etc. Really don't know what to do and am not that computer savvy.

Hi and welcome to 7F. When downloading with IE do you see the same as in the picture below with the red
arrow at the bottom



Have you tried downloading with a different browser such as Firefox or Chrome

When did this first begin? If very recent, you could try system restore and see if it resolves the problem.

Try another browser.

Did you enable any Parental Control?

this started within in the last 4 days. downloaded a java and nothing since then. have not done a system restore and parental control is not on.

can't download another browser so have not tried that. didn't have one downloaded before. removed firefox before this all happened. won't do that again if I ever get this repaired. will keep "extra" browsers, including chrome.

did not see the save/run line at the bottom. it never appears, so I don't get the option.

Do you have access to another PC.

Hi and welcome to SevenForums,
If you haven't already try first to uninstall Java,
Then if still no joy use system restore to an earlier time before you download Java
Cheers.

Also try to reset IE Security permissions by going to Tools > Internet Options > Security
In the Security tab, click on: Reset all areas to the default level

Maybe you can't download because your using 2 anti-virus, Kaspersky and Malwarebytes, I reccommend you unninstalling one of them and try downloading again.

I don't think Malwarebytes is in the way. It can run when an AV suite is present.

One problem Malwarebytes is not a antivirus program,
Usually it's the actual antivirus program shielding or blocking silently
Other times is because of corruption,
