Hi there!
After installing a fresh copy of XP, i've found that I
cannot open or save any .exe files from a web page - a
windows update for example.
It seems that, Internet explorer tries to open the exe
file and display it in the browser itself.
For example, by opening the URL:
http://download.microsoft.com/download/ie6sp1/finrel/6_sp1
/W98NT42KMeXP/EN-US/ie6setup.exe
I am greeted with a blank screen, except for a small icon
in the top left - the type of icon normally displayed on
a webpage, where a image is placed if it cannot load.
Oviously, all i really want is the dialog asking if i
want to save or open the file, and since i have the same
problem when downloading the Internet Explorer 6 service
pack 1, i cant try that to fix it.
Does anyone know what is wrong, or how i can fix it?
Thanks in advance! _LeeChap!_
