I have Vista Home Premium. When I download items from the internet, they
seem to go nowhere. I select a location, the dialogue box shows it
downloading, then the dialogue box disappears and I cannot find the files.

Does anyone know where they might go?

This problem just started this past Sunday. I tried to do a restore point,
but I cannot go back past a day or two. In XP, restore showed a calendar to
select a restore point.

Any help is greatle appreciated. Also, I eeven tried to download to a cd and
it show the download progressing, but when I went to the cd, it wasn't there.
 
Downloads, desktop. It doesn't matter. Again, the dialogue box shows it
downloading. Once complete, the dialogue box disappears without asking if I
want to run it.
 
I have the same problem when downloading a file to my desktop. The file does
not appear but if I use Explorer to navigate to my desktop I see it. A
workaround is create a new folder Desktop/Downloads. See if that works for
you.
 
Hi Greg,

I think this is what you are looking for...
Quote from the net:
when you click on the download link, the download box appears. on this box
you find its like run or Save, click on Save and you will find a checkbox
"close this dialog box when download completes" . just uncheck this .
End Quote

Now the box will stay open and you can open the folder where you downloaded
to.
 
No Avail. I have tried what you and SG wrote but nothing. I cannot even
download anything to a flash drive. No downloads from IE 7 are going
anywhere, but it goes through the download process.
 
Greg G, I am having the exact same Problem if you find a fix please post!
Thanks
Ronnie
 
Ronnie and GregG,

Just curious to see if this may make a deference. If you click the toggle
switch next to the Start button "Show Desktop" do you then see the files?
