doorby35 Posted June 28, 2009 Posted June 28, 2009 i had reset my internet explorer because it kept freezing, that worked fine stopped the internet freezing.but now when i try to download anything for example realplayer i just cant find them. ido all the right procedures as i have always done put there not there.this is what happens...(1)ask you would you like to run or save file i click save.(2)then asks where would you like to save ive always saved in downloads off the start menu.(3)it then proceeds to download then pings,usually this works fine but not now.when i try to find the file in start menu then then my folder and then downloads there not there to open.this is really iritating as i cant download anything,i used realplayer as my default download manager it was great when ever i was on youtube it always popped in the right corner and gave you the option would you like to download to realplayer it was great.as i said before any file i try to download i just cant find it.and how do you set windows media player up to download like the real player, i hope someone can help maybe ive switched something off.

Guest Wolfeymole Posted June 28, 2009 Posted June 28, 2009 We are a bit confused here mate as something like Real Player is not a download manager but simply a media player like Windows Media Player. Are you saying you can't find normal downloads like a program or are you saying you can't find music that you downloaded to add to a playlist? Quote
maynardvdm Posted June 28, 2009 Posted June 28, 2009 Hello and Welcome to Extreme Tech Support - Free PC Help Enjoy the forums :) Try to do a search for the file you downloaded and then note the location. You can set the folder where you want the downloads to be saved. Quote We are all members helping other members. Please return here where you may be able to help someone else.

doorby35 Posted June 28, 2009 Author Posted June 28, 2009 what im saying is any file i download whether music ,video,or a player ,for example sopcast i identify the file it should be going to like documents then music or video or just downloads its says its going there but when i look its not there this happens with every file i download it also seems to go very fast and then a ping as though its not excepting it but doesnt tell me so could i have a block on somewhere and maybe it needs reseting.hope this is a little more clear.

Guest Wolfeymole Posted June 28, 2009 Posted June 28, 2009 If you have auto updates set then you should be on IE8. Run Windows Updates. Quote
