I have both 'on speed' and 'download accelerater' installed on my computer
and both have worked fine for sometime. In the past if I left clicked a
downloadable link download accelerater would start up and offer the options
if downloading either 'normal/accelerated'. Since updating on speed if I left
click say an mpeg clip, windows media player opens and tries to stream it, if
I click on an adobe reader document i get taken to a page that says cannot
retrieve file. Download accelerator will not start no matter what type of
downloadable link I click on. If I uninstall on speed all returns to normal.
i have checked and double checked all associations and these are set
correctly, i.e. Download accelerater is my default download program. Have ben
to on speed help but there is nothing there I haven't already tried, hope
this all makes sense and thanks for any help.
 
Exactly which 'download accelerator' do you have installed???
If it's the one I think it is, then you are likely to have a major spyware
problem!!
You may already have a virus/spyware hijack

download the Stinger from here and run it to make sure that A-V-disabling
viruses are not present on your PC

- update your virus scanner and run a full system scan of all files.

Reboot to Safe Mode and run CWShredder - to remove variants of the
CoolWebSearch hijacker.

Use CWShredder, the removal tool:

download AdAware SE Personal Edition from www.lavasoftusa.com, install,
update, and run it to remove spyware, adware, and other such nasties from
your system.

I use speedbits download accelerator plus (DAP), this I have used for ages
and causes me no problems, I have up to date virus definitions and reguarly
run ad aware, my problem is on speed is stopping DAP from running properly
not the other way round,
Thanks
