XP Home IE6.

"Internet Explorer cannot download 12_21_2005_7449.qfx from
www.mbnanetaccess.com.



Internet Explorer was not able to open this Internet site. The requested
site is either unavailable or cannot be found. Please try again later."

The message above is received on any download.

Strangely enough, anti Ad-Aware programs can be updated.


Any ideas?

Hi Don :)

Try the following and see if it helps. Very often it is a simple solution:

In IE go to Tools>Internet Options>Security->Custom Level>Downloads
Make sure that the File Downloads is "Enabled"

also...

or…

Delete view off-line files not the pages File, Save as.

If TIF is much larger than 50 MB, IE starts to slow down because it's
actually faster to get the information from the Internet than to find it in
TIF. In addition, you start losing the ability to save pictures as anything
but a BMP and you lose the ability to View | Source. Unfortunately, as far
as I know IE still by default grabs some percentage of the drive for TIF and
for large drives this is way too much. 50 MB seems to be about the best.

If still no joy, run a repair of IE

It is possible that one of the files has been damaged or corrupted.

Then go to Windows Update and let it check for and install any updates
there.

Hope this helps.
