Cannot download ANYTHING!

My Windows XP HOME SP2 does not allow me to download ANY files from the
outside, e.g. a website link. I have tried setting the security level as low
as it goes, and looked at the individual security settings, but it simply
does not allow any downloads.

All other browser functions SEEM to be in working order.

The problem has suddenly become severe as this is the only machine connected
to a payroll system and hence the only way reports can be downloaded.

Any help will be GREATLY appreciated.
Thx,
Ernesto

And what happens when you try? Any error messages?
 
Oops sorry. I only praphrased.

The thing just gives the OK-msgbox
"Your current security settings does not allow this file to be downloaded".

Hot dang... this is annoying!
Any help will be appreciated.
 
Try this:

Check under Tools | Internet Options | Security. Click "Internet" just once
and go to custom level, once there, scroll down and verify if "Downloads"
are enable or disable. It should be enable.

Hope this helps,

JR.
 
I feel so stupid!
I must have looked through these settings a dozen times.
I suppose I may have confused the enable "prompt to download" with enable
(just) " download".

Thanks for your help fellas!
