downloads thru ie not working

[S.L.NARASIMHAM]

this behaviour is erratic.
when i download files using ie , they are not executed and i get the message
saying "not a valid win32 application" or "the file is corrupt".
if the file is 1.5 mb sized ie downloads 1.2 mb and says done.and obviously
i get the message " not a valid win32 application."
what is happening.
running win xp with all the patches applied regularly . no sp2 though.

I found your previous post and this is what was written there.

Per Kelly (MVP):

Go to Start/Run/Regedit and see what is listed under the key below: If none
of the below suggestions help, export this key and send it to me via e-mail.
Many have claimed that the culprit is listed there.



HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\InternetExplorer\Extensions

Go to IE/Tools/Internet Options/Advanced/Uncheck Enable third-party browser
extentions.


If you using any third party download manager, disable or uninstall. If you
are using a Firewall program, check the settings. (Tiny is known for this).
If you using an "Ad" filter program disable it and see if downloads work.


Windows Explorer/Tools/Folder Options/File Types/[File Type in
Question]/Advanced. Put a check in the box that reads: Confirm open after
download.


Clean/clear out your Temp/TIF/cache files.
Temp Files: IE/Tools/Internet Options/Delete Temporary Internet Files


Temp Files: C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Local
Settings\TempStart/Run/CMD. Type this command: REGSVR32 URLMON.DLL.
Ok/Reboot. Then go
to: IE/Tools/Internet Options/Programs/Reset Web Settings.


Internet Explorer/Tools/Internet Options/Connections Tab Click on LAN
Settings/Uncheck the Automatically detect settings Make sure no other
settings on this screen are enabled.


Go to Tools/Internet Options/Connections/Lan Settings in IE6 and you
will have a checkmark under "Proxy Server" if you are using one.


If it is an application download, see if the EXE is already listed here:
HKEY CLASSES ROOT\Applications and runonce. For odd reasons they show up
even though you had issues.
