IE 6 blocking downloads

[Guest]

I have several PCs running XP and W2k with IE6. We access a vendors website
to download data from a database which can be saved to a file or opened
directly into Excel. On two of the PCs this works fine, on the other three,
we get just the header record of the file.

Does anyone know of any setting in IE that would block data from downloading
like this?

Hi xcoach

Try the following and see if it helps:

It's also worth checking if you have a orphaned download handler entry in
the registry which is causing the behavior. Disable or uninstall any
download managers if you've installed any. To verify if there are any
remnant download hooks in the system, try the advice here:
