Hey guys, I'm having the exact same problem wiht XP Pro... It used to work,
but suddenly stopped. I have my firewall off , I'm using a NAT. I had SP1
when the prob started, but now I'm using SP2 ... which didn't help. My
command line FTP server DOES download files O.K. I have actually reladed XP
Pro and the service packs and that didn't work either ... which leads me to
believe the problem is in the registry somewhere. Strangely the support GIFs
etc. classified as objects to EMail and explorer pages arrive with no problem
.... but any attempt to download a GIF, JPG, PDF, EXE etc. from a link, or by
right clicking on a photo to "save target as .. " fails with a "The requested
site is either inavailbale or cannot be found"
One clue (which might be meaningless) is a strange "add on" The name of the
add on looks more like a registry key: CD67F990-D8E9-11D2-98FE-00CCF038AFE.
I observe it by looking under tools/ manage ad ons (I'm using IE6) and its
the first entry. Other entries look O.K.
I should also mention I have Yahoo's explorer extensions too ... but That
used to work as well. Windows update can't even download its own files.
Panda and Norton both tell me I am virus free ... but something
Any help is appreciated.
