IE 5.5 sp2 not prompting for download

[tsherfy]

When clicking on a link to download a file(exe), IE sends me to a blank page, containing the URL for the exe, and a simple block graphic like you would see when a graphic did not load. I am never prompted to download. Right-clicking on the link and selecting "Save As..." works fine. I did have ReGet installed, and thought perhaps this was the problem. I uninstalled it, then repaired IE. Still no solution. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Try re-setting the defaults in tools/Internet options/ Advanced / Restore all defaults.

I had something flaky like that happen to me also. Re-installing didn't help me, but restoring the defaults did.

Hope this helps. --Chris

try going to browsers.com to download from there. If that doesn't prompt, then go into the registry and initiate that hack
