downloaded files disappear actually never appear

Hi, When I download a file anywhere...it says its going. But when it is done there is nothing. Also when I open a zip file I can't extract. It goes through the motions but it too is nonexistent at the end. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I did this and it worked for me
I had same trouble went to Tools Internet Options Advanced and click on restore internet explorer settings IE to it's install state then it started to save files again one thing I do not like about IE7 is it does not remember the folder where you last saved files to so you have to keep redoing it the folder

Hi I had double posts ...the site said error so I posted again and now there are doubles. I tried that but no luck. Still won't work.

Let me guess, you are using a web-based reader that you got into by clicking on a newsgroup link in Vista Help and Support? If so, it is prettly clear that this is a bug that is causing false negative reports. Report the bug and then try the Vista Mail newsreader. All of the Vista newsgroups are listed there and all you have to do is subscribe.

Question for you. Are you using a user account or the original account that you created when you installed Vista? I also ran into a simular situation where I created a normal account and downloaded something but it didn't appear in my download folder where I directed it to even after entering my admin password to allow that file to download. I tried logging onto the account that I used when I installed Vista and redownloaded the file and it was there.
