Downloading... Installing too maybe.


Question Posted Wednesday December 26 2007, 2:40 pm

I need to d/l some stuff and not really sure what's up. I use Mozilla Firefox (not Internet Explorer) and I'm on DialUp.. yeah, not so lucky. When I go to d/l something it says it's downloaded it and nothing happens.. or nothing happens at all. What should I do?

It may be that you don't know where you have downloaded it. Go to Tools and click options. Click on the top tab that says Main. After startup, it should say show the downloads window when downloading a file. Click it so there is a check mark. Then it will say Save files to ____. I always put desktop just because it is more convenient. When you [lets say] download [save as] a picture on google. Right click and click save as to desktop. Then this window will pop up and it will say open and remove. Click open. Do the same for all your downloads. Remember to once in a while clean up [press clean up].

The only other thing I can think of is search it and maybe it will appear. You might also want to check your options [tools, click options] to see if there is something odd there.

Good Luck!
