Everything was working great...now all of a sudden whenever I try to download
a large Windows Video File , the Save As box appears, I click Save As & then
the File Export box appears but does nothing & just freezes. When you click
anywhere, it then says Not Responding. When I dump out of it, I can't get
any more Internet service unless I reboot. When rebooting, the End Program
box appears with Xport File Box as the top heading.

Have scanned in detail with McAfee for both irus & spyware/adware, to no
avail. My cable Internet service in general is working great, very fast with
no problems.
I can download other types of files fine, just not Windows Media.

Everything has always been fine & now this. What gives? Any suggestions?
Maybe my Internet Explorer is corrupted?
 
I'm also getting the same problem, but it doesn't seem to be just *.mpg or
*.avi files, but any file type. I don't have to reboot to get IE running
again, but I have to use a different machine to do my downloads now.
