Getting message "couldn't be downloaded"...

[VistaKing]

Question 1 : Do other folders have the same settings as ownership ?

Question 2 : Do the other folders have Authenticated Users in the Properties ?

Question 3 : Are you sharing the folder C:\Users\{your account} ? Right click choose sharing

1.) Yes, other folders do have he same ownership.
2.) Yes, other folders do have Authenticated Users.
3.) No, I'm not sharing the folder.

This morning, I tried downgrading from ver 10, to ver 9, and still the same effect.

Try this

Go to Internet Options in IE9 (Tools > Internet Options)

1. Choose the Advanced Tab
2. Scroll down to Security
3. Un-check Do not save encrypted pages to disk

checked that and it is unchecked. I have Microsoft Essentials installed. would that have anything to do with it?

 

[VistaKing]

Im not seeing any settings for it to block downloads . Were you able to download before you installed MSE ?

 

[GilV37]

I haven't noticed it before MSE was installed. I just tried uninstalling MSE and rebooted the PC to see if that helps, and still getting the same message. I'm so confused.

Can you tell me if the folders with the locks on it have HomeGroup and Users inside the Properties window ? In the Security tab .

 

[GilV37]

All the folders don't have locks on them. Including the username folder.

 

[VistaKing]

Do the names HomeGroup and Users show up in the folders ? Under security tab ? If you have HomeGroup try to remove that username from the Security tap .

 

[GilV37]

no neither of those groups exist in the downloads folder or the username folder. very confusing.

 

[VistaKing]

For the Downloads folder do you have these under Group or usernames:

Authenticated Users - has full control
SYSTEM - has full control
Administrators ({PC name\administrators) - full control
{user name} ({PC name\user name}) -full control

 

[GilV37]

I have all four groups (nothing more) and they all have full control. I tried for the hell of it install Firefox (downloaded from another PC) and tried downloading. It worked fine. IE seems to be corrupted or something?

 

[VistaKing]

Open up Internet Options . Click on rb: type Internet Options inside the Search programs and files . In the Internet Options

Click the Advanced tab, and then click Reset.

Select the Delete personal settings check box if you would also like to remove browsing history, search providers, Accelerators, home pages, Tracking Protection, and ActiveX Filtering data.

In the Reset Internet Explorer Settings dialog box, click Reset.

 

[GilV37]

nothing. still the same.

ok this is weird... I think we are getting someplace. I used internet explorer to download the file above and got the couldn't be downloaded message. i used Firefox, and opened up the downloads folder. there were two files. i cleared them out and tried again using internet explorer, and still got the same error but it downloaded to the downloads folder. I sent it to the desktop, and right mouse clicked the file. the option to run as administrator is not there.
