hello.

sorry for that.

second...i have few questions and i don't know if got the right newsgroups.

i have boght new comp with windows xphome
then, i have installed java because so that i could go to icq online page.
http://go.icq.com

then i have installed visual studio 6.0.

after that, java didn't work. because some previous version from the cd disc
was instaled.

i erased it, and download the one from java.com again.

icq and other chats worked just fine, but now i cant download any .zip or
exe. files.

that is, I cant, but when i try to run them, "bad file header, courupted
files or something like that apperas

whats wrong?

thank you very much

Hi,

Try clearing your temporary internet files as well as system and user
defined temp folders, they are probably full-to-overflowing and have several
corrupt files.

i have cleaned temp int. files, but what about the others..my comp is totaly
new, i cant see the differnce on the dates with the other files in such temp
folders...
i am afraid i might delete something important.

Rick,

I thought I wouls set up a .bat file to do the same.

But I found there is no directory under my username (Trevor) as described
C:\Documents and Settings\Trevor\local settings\temp

There is a
C:\Documents and Settings\Trevor\Temp

Is this the one?

Hi,

Do you have folder options set to see hidden and system files? Go to the
Control Panel/Folder Options, and on the View tab, set the options so you
can see hidden and system files. Specifically:

Enable (check) "Display the contents of system folders"
Enable (check) "Show hidden files and folders"
Disable (uncheck): "Hide protected operating system files (recommended)"

I also recommend that you disable (uncheck) "hide extensions for known file
types".

Just type it in Start Run and it will open.

Thanks Rick and David.

I have found the folder, but there is also a folder named
C:\Documents and Settings\Trevor\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files

Should this be cleared also? (There is plenty of stuff in here which looks
like they should be deleted)

 

[David Candy]

Should be - no. Can be - yes.

Internet Options - General - Delete Files - tick the box Offline Content else IE will only delete files it put there.
