download dialogue box missing...

[Steve]

after selecting a download button, new explorer window
opens and download starts (activity on dsl modem) and
then ends with a 'missing icon' in top left corner of
window... no dialogue box ever displays to allow
selection of 'open' or 'save' for downloading the
item... makes it impossible to download anything
effectively... any ideas? thanks - Steve

Confirm Download Dialog Box -

1. Open Explorer
2. Click the TOOLS menu
3. Select FOLDER OPTIONS
4. Then select FILE TYPES tab

Locate the file type (extension), click ADVANCED and click EDIT.
Note the "confirm download" box. Check it.

Well, thanks for this, this does not seem to quite solve
my situation... file type .exe, not listed, I add, and
it says... "application" and will not allow selection of
confirm open after download (option not available).

Sorry it was not of assistance, perhaps you should visit the experts in Internet
Explorer for this one
