Hi Don
Try the following and see if it helps. Very often it is a simple
solution:
In IE go to Tools>Internet Options>Security->Custom Level>Downloads
Make sure that the File Downloads is "Enabled"
also...

Delete view off-line files not the pages File, Save as.
If TIF is much larger than 50 MB, IE starts to slow down because it's
actually faster to get the information from the Internet than to find it
in
TIF. In addition, you start losing the ability to save pictures as
anything
but a BMP and you lose the ability to View | Source. Unfortunately, as
far
as I know IE still by default grabs some percentage of the drive for TIF
and
for large drives this is way too much. 50 MB seems to be about the best.
If still no joy, run a repair of IE

It is possible that one of the files has been damaged or corrupted.
Then go to Windows Update and let it check for and install any updates
there.
Hope this helps.

Any ideas?
