Save Target As hangs every time

[Odin]

Hi,

For the last two days, every time I right click a link
and click "Save Target As" the File Download window stops
responding and closes IE. If I left click the link, it
seems to work fine. This is happening on two different
computers in the same time period.

Any fix?

Thanks,

Odin

Odin,
You may need to clear your TIF as you may have a corrupt file there.

Close all instances of OE and IE
Control Panel | Internet Options | General tab
Click the "Delete Files" button, when prompted place a check in:
"Delete all offline content", click OK
Click the "Clear History" button, click OK.
Click the Settings button, adjust the TIF size to 50 mb, click OK
