I installed the beta rls off of Microsoft's website on a Dell desktop running
XP home SP2. All was good until I tried to download anything and save it to
my desktop. The window opens and the file appears (briefly) on the desktop
and then disappears. No trace of the file can be found anywhere on the
machine. I even tried to download another copy of the Defender program and
it would never even start. I ran the Antispyware Beta before defender and
never had these problems. According to others on the IE6 newsgroups, this
is not a single occurrence. Any other browser works OK
 
I just realized I had the same problem on XP SP2. Any "save target as"
operation would fail after apparently downloading the file. Uninstalling WD
fixed it like a charm. Did not happen with the earlier antispyware beta.
