• Satellite A100-756: browsers close attempt to download files from the Internet

  I bought a Satellite A100-756 just before Christmas and it has been running XP Pro SP2 absolutely fine without any problem.

  I've upgraded to Vista Ultimate this weekend and I can't download files to PC from the Internet using ANY web browser I installed.

  I dropped all the security settings just in case it was the cause of the problem but still can not do.

  If I click on a link to downliad an exe file, for example, the Run/save/Cancel dialog pop up, if I click on RUN it run the application, but if I click on SAVE, the browser closes right down.

  The same thing happens if I'm going to transfer a system file to MySpace or one of my web servers via HTTP.

  I tried IE7 +, FireFox & Opera and all do the same thing.

  It's the exact even if it is a pure install or an upgrade, and the same copy of Vista works fine on all the other machines I have here (I installed to test just in case it's a Vista only bug. it's only the Toshiba that has the problem.)

  Nothing is written to the event logs, or error report.

  Someone at - it ideas?

  Hello

  What security software you have on the laptop?

  Open windows control panel, open Internet Options, click the Advanced tab, click the "Reset" button, then click apply and then click OK.  Restart the computer and see if that helped.

  If it is not, on another PC, download the FirefoxInstaller, this transfer to your laptop and install it. -you still have the same problems to download using this browser?

  Another option to try is the following.

  Judgment of the laptop. Tap here to f8 start you toward the top access to the Windows Recovery Console.  Use the arrow keys to select "Safe Mode with network" and press ENTER.  Let windows fully load in this mode and see if you can now access the internet and download - only choosing a site known 'safe' such as Microsoft and HP that your security software will not work in this mode.  To exit Safe Mode, just restart the laptop in the usual way and Windows does not start normally.

  Let me know the result.

  Kind regards

• Download files from the Internet will not end

  I have a problem downloading of the content of any Internet site.  I use IE 8 and Mozilla Firefox and downloads will start but never finished, while using a browser.  Downloads crash at different points in the download process.  The download process will fail any site I visit (some examples are McAfee, Apple, Microsoft and HP.  He did not even finish download music bought on iTunes.

  Hi ZapNap,

  1. did you of recent changes on the computer?

  2. you receive an error message when downloading?

  3. What is the type of internet connection you use?

  4 when was the last time it was working fine?

  5. do you have security software installed on the computer?

  If the problem just started I would say that you check first with the yourInternet service (ISP) provider to check if there are problems at their end, as all downloads are defective.

  If there is no problem at the end of Internet service provider, then I suggest that you check if the problem persists in mode safe mode with networking.

  Steps to start in safe mode with networking

  Note: Do not try the step below if you use wireless or internet Dialup Connection

  (a) restart your computer if it is running.

  (b) press F8 after your computer powers initially on.

  (c) once you see the menu Advanced Boot Options, you can stop tapping.

  d keys) use the up/down arrow to select your selection.

  (e) select Mode safe mode with networking and press ENTER.

  (f) you should see loading drivers and wait please.

  (g) you should then be at the Welcome screen.

  (h) logon to your computer using an account with administrator privileges.

  If the problem persists in mode safe mode with networking then I would suggest that you scan the computer using the online scanner and remove all malware infections or virus from the computer, check to see if it helps.

  The scan below only works on the 32-bit version of Windows

  I just got a new PC with preinstalled Windows7. From day one, I have the problem that when I download files from the internet while you have no extension, so when I try to run them, told me that they do not have an associated program.

  Seems that my problem has healed itself, but thanks for the help that was offered to me.
