If the "save target as" option is greyed out, it sounds as if your system administrator has blocked your ability to download.

If you don't have a system administrator, and you're sure that no one is deliberately blocking you, your Windows or Internet Explorer may be damaged. The first thing you might want to try would be installing some other browser - I recommend FireFox - and seeing if that lets you download. Otherwise, updating Windows and IE is worth trying. And if THAT doesn't work...back everything up and try reinstalling Windows, if you're comfortable with that.

If not, you may have to call technical support. Good luck!

even techie kitty needs some more info! ^_^

what computer is this on? your home desktop or personal laptop, or a work computer, or a computer/laptop that's on a public network?

if it's on a public network that you're not an administrator of, downloading from the net could be disabled.

what kind of files are you trying to download? pictures, music, programs, installers, etc.?

also, what sites are you trying to download stuff from? it's possible that the site's administrator could have disabled the download option on certain things.

hope this helped. good luck.
