Help with computer

	2005/07/25, 02:52 PM I use netscape. Up until today, when I saved files off the net a small window called "download manager" used to pop up while the document was being saved. It doesn't pop up now and I can't save documents, pix etc off the web. What have I done to this%^&*#($$** machine now? How can I fix it. -------------- Prayer for the day: Lord, help me to be the kind of person my dog thinks I am. Charlie

This sometimes fixes messed up files. Next, I would try and download netscape again from the internet and see if that fixes it. Although, if you're having problems downloading this will have you spinning in circles! You could try using MSN explorer to download it. If you download a newer version you'll still keep all of your history files Don't you love computers:) -------------- Even if you are on the right track, you will get run over if you just sit there.
	2005/07/25, 03:09 PM I tried to D/L a new netscape version and got this: C:\docume~1\charli1~\local~\temp\mi15res.exe could not be saved because the source cannot be read. I'm getting similar messages on other d/ls . This sucks. -------------- Prayer for the day: Lord, help me to be the kind of person my dog thinks I am. Charlie

If you are running Windows XP with the service pack 2 (it sometimes installs itself) it may be creating a conflict with your netscape. So just get rid of the SP2 in your program files! Just make sure you have a good anti-virus and a firewall of your own! -------------- Cerca, trova
	2005/07/25, 05:07 PM I've used Netscape too long. I don't want to learn a new browser. I hate Bill Gates. It's bad enough that I have to use his operating system. I did set msn up to d/l the latest netscape but it didn't import my mail and newsgroup settings. Now I cant read alt.dumbass and I'm lost. -------------- Prayer for the day: Lord, help me to be the kind of person my dog thinks I am. Charlie

	2005/07/27, 11:48 AM Highness and Ivan, I've downloaded a new Netscape and tried Mozilla. Both imported my browser settings and bookmarks but neither imported my mail or newsgroups stuff. I'd lose everything I had or have to use 2 browsers. I'm too old a dog to learn all these new tricks. Pritchard, you're to young to even know about "specialist" sights much less discuss them with adults. -------------- Prayer for the day: Lord, help me to be the kind of person my dog thinks I am.

I'm not familiar with netscape, but most browsers have an options tab where you can tell it to save, and where, and what, etc. Some websites that don't want you saving their stuff can actually get into these settngs and change them until you change them back. I would also empty your browser cache, do a disk cleanup and defrag... Good luck, Jim
	2005/09/11, 09:50 AM Hey charlie forget that stuff you can still use netscape download, download accellerator from www.dap.com or searc for dap in google now just use dap to download all your files!! Hope that helps
