I have Vista Home Premium. When I download items from the internet, they
seem to go nowhere. I select a location, the dialogue box shows it
downloading, then the dialogue box disappears and I cannot find the files.

Does anyone know where they might go?

This problem just started this past Sunday. I tried to do a restore point,
but I cannot go back past a day or two. In XP, restore showed a calendar to
select a restore point.

Any help is greatle appreciated. Also, I eeven tried to download to a cd and
it show the download progressing, but when I went to the cd, it wasn't there.

What was the location you selected?

Downloads, desktop. It doesn't matter. Again, the dialogue box shows it
downloading. Once complete, the dialogue box disappears without asking if I
want to run it.

I'm assuming you use IE7?
When you go to the folder where you downloaded the file, do you see a
"Compatibility Files" button on the Windows Explorer toolbar? If so, click
it and it will take you to the virtualstore..

Here's a link to similar situation... perhaps it will help?

I have the same problem when downloading a file to my desktop. The file does
not appear but if I use Explorer to navigate to my desktop I see it. A
workaround is create a new folder Desktop/Downloads. See if that works for
you.

Hi Greg,

I think this is what you are looking for...
Quote from the net:
when you click on the download link, the download box appears. on this box
you find its like run or Save, click on Save and you will find a checkbox
"close this dialog box when download completes" . just uncheck this .
End Quote

Now the box will stay open and you can open the folder where you downloaded
to.

No Avail. I have tried what you and SG wrote but nothing. I cannot even
download anything to a flash drive. No downloads from IE 7 are going
anywhere, but it goes through the download process.

Ronnie and GregG,

Just curious to see if this may make a deference. If you click the toggle
switch next to the Start button "Show Desktop" do you then see the files?
