View downloads doesn't work-Internet Explorer 9

[Giantpow]

neither ctrl +j does.
Even if i download a file and press "view more" (or sth like that sorry i dont have english windows ) nothing happens.
-Ive tried reseting ie 9
-deleting all personal data(cookies ,etc)
-deleting all files in "appdata/internet explorer
-unistalling and installing again
-system restore- i had the Realease Candite (crtl +j worked there , but still it doesn't)
-Rebuilding ie History index.

But if i press Inprivate session ,download manager opens ,if i exit inprivate , manager still doesn't open

Your downloads notification is at the bottom of the screen. You can pull it up by clicking on it.
It gives a percentage, but that's about it.

What do you see if you click on: Tools, View Downloads, ‘View and track your downloads'? And what about at the bottom-left corner of the "View and track your downloads' screen, if you click on the blue hyperlink titled Options?

sorry i just saw the e-mail

Before some days the ie download manager problems , my Windows media player library was lost .I reseted him by intruding C:/users/(giantpow)/appdata/microsoft/wmp , or sth like that and deleted wmp database.
After a week ie manager problems appeared.

I bypass(not solved)this by making new user and deleting the old one.But things got worse .In random pc froze and stopped working , and then HDD led go crazy and pc continues where it froze

It was the corrupted user database. And the reason for this was the bad sectors in hard disk,which actually i found about 20 days later, after i write about my problem in microsoft answers.

Hdd regenerator 2011 helped me .you really need the registered version , buy or search the web .

PS i dont anymore use ie 9 cause letter's font is awful

Identical problem ... It was working for a few months then simply stopped.

There is no option alongside Tools, View Downloads, nothing happens when I select View Downloads

Download bar at the bottom also fails to refresh, and returns to a constant time until some download event occurs, such as download interrupted ...

exact same problem - any luck?

I have the exact same issue and can't seem to find much info.

When I choose Tools...View Downloads or Ctrl + J I get nothing.

I've tried resetting IE & Deleting Download History. After deleting the download history and restarting IE9 I am then able to open the Download Manager via View Downloads. However, the very next time I try to download something I get nothing. Download manager then wont open via Ctrl + J or by using the menu.

hey guys i found this, it works for me
You may have a corrupted Download History list. You can fix this by simply clearing the list using the built in functionality listed below:

• Open Internet Explorer
• Press Ctrl + Shift + Del on your keyboard
• Uncheck all of the boxes that are displayed in this window
• Check the Download History box
• Click Delete
• Close the Internet Explorer window
• Wait for the deletion process to finish
• Open Internet Explorer

It worked!!!!

took me forever to jumping thru hoops just to get back here and tell you - this worked!!!!! I'd tryed all sorts of things, but Ctrl Shift Del then unchecking almost everything (I kept the favorites option at the top), checked Download history and delete. I rebooted to be safe,,, and yay! downloads are back!!! Thank you bencosmea!
