Okay so I am having alittle trouble downloading .exe files and I can't seem to find out why...I tired checking my ZAP firewall and got nothing, scanned for virus's and Malware/Spyware/Adware and got nothing agian I tried fooling around with the settings and I didn't either mess with the right or didn't know what to look for any help will be appriciated thank you
Hi starchy Few things I have to ask you: What browser and version are you using? What trouble are you having while downloading exe files? Best Regards
Well I am using firefox version 3.0.1 and when i go to download the .exe file it will go to my desktop as the part file and wont download and if i try to download it out of IE it gives me an error messages saying its blocking it from downloading...But if i try to download winRAR files it works completely fine.
Hey starchy Sorry for the late reply. There are many problems which can cause irregular behavior when downloading exe files, and some of them include hardware firewalls, faulty network cards, and more. It really is impossible to find out what the problem is, and even Microsoft technicians cannot find the answer. Can I get some information from you? I will need: 1. Your entire hardware setup. 2. Your Uninstall list, which can be gotten through HijackThis 3. Try copying an exe file from one location to another, and see if it works fine. 4. Click on your Start button, Run, and type in regedit. Open HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT by clicking the plus sign next to it, and scroll down till you find exefile. Right click on exefile, and click on Export. Save it to your Desktop, and then open the reg file using Notepad. Post the contents here. 5. Do you have Nvidia network access manager? Best Regards
Haha alright well I usualy ask a friend to send the file to me if i cant get it and it works completely fine as long if its through AIM haha well heres the HiJackThis file Code: Logfile of Trend Micro HijackThis v2.0.2 Scan saved at 1:05:26 PM, on 8/5/2008 Platform: Windows XP SP2 (WinNT 5.01.2600) MSIE: Internet Explorer v7.00 (7.00.6000.16674) Boot mode: Normal Running processes: C:\WINDOWS\System32\smss.exe C:\WINDOWS\system32\winlogon.exe C:\WINDOWS\system32\services.exe C:\WINDOWS\system32\lsass.exe C:\WINDOWS\system32\Ati2evxx.exe C:\WINDOWS\system32\svchost.exe C:\WINDOWS\System32\svchost.exe C:\WINDOWS\system32\svchost.exe C:\WINDOWS\system32\ZoneLabs\vsmon.exe C:\WINDOWS\system32\Ati2evxx.exe C:\WINDOWS\Explorer.EXE C:\Program Files\Lavasoft\Ad-Aware 2007\aawservice.exe C:\WINDOWS\system32\spoolsv.exe C:\WINDOWS\system32\acs.exe C:\Program Files\Bonjour\mDNSResponder.exe C:\Program Files\TOSHIBA\ConfigFree\CFSvcs.exe C:\WINDOWS\system32\DVDRAMSV.exe C:\WINDOWS\eHome\ehRecvr.exe C:\WINDOWS\eHome\ehSched.exe C:\Program Files\Network Associates\McAfee Desktop Firewall for Windows XP\FireSvc.exe C:\Program Files\Network Associates\Common Framework\FrameworkService.exe C:\PROGRA~1\McAfee\MSC\mcmscsvc.exe c:\program files\common files\mcafee\mna\mcnasvc.exe C:\WINDOWS\ehome\RMSvc.exe C:\Program Files\SiteAdvisor\6261\SAService.exe C:\WINDOWS\system32\svchost.exe c:\TOSHIBA\IVP\swupdate\swupdtmr.exe C:\WINDOWS\system32\TODDSrv.exe C:\Program Files\Viewpoint\Common\ViewpointService.exe C:\PROGRA~1\McAfee.com\Agent\mcagent.exe C:\WINDOWS\system32\dllhost.exe C:\WINDOWS\System32\svchost.exe C:\Program Files\ATI Technologies\ATI Control Panel\atiptaxx.exe C:\WINDOWS\RTHDCPL.EXE C:\Program Files\Synaptics\SynTP\SynTPEnh.exe C:\Program Files\Toshiba\Windows Utilities\Hotkey.exe C:\Program Files\TOSHIBA\Touch and Launch\PadExe.exe C:\Program Files\TOSHIBA\TOSHIBA Zooming Utility\SmoothView.exe C:\toshiba\ivp\ism\pinger.exe C:\WINDOWS\system32\TPSBattM.exe C:\Program Files\SiteAdvisor\6261\SiteAdv.exe C:\Program Files\Network Associates\Common Framework\UpdaterUI.exe C:\Program Files\Lavasoft\Ad-Aware 2007\AAWTray.exe C:\Program Files\Unlocker\UnlockerAssistant.exe C:\Program Files\Zone Labs\ZoneAlarm\zlclient.exe C:\Program Files\TOSHIBA\TOSCDSPD\toscdspd.exe C:\WINDOWS\system32\ctfmon.exe C:\Program Files\Spybot -

Hey starchy All the info you gave me seemed normal, and your HijackThis log (not exactly what I was looking for) shows no problems which will indicate a problem such as yours. I don't know if I will be able to solve your problem; it's a rare one and I've never seen anything like it. All I'll need from you is the following information: 1. What network card are you using? 2. Go to Start, All Programs, Accessories, System Tools, and open Internet Explorer (No Add-ons). Try downloading exe files from there, and see if it works. Best Regards PS: Please also try at other forums besides this one, forums more specialized in general software problems.
Okay well the nic card i think i am using is Atheros AR5005G Wireless Network and running IE with addons isnt under the system tools so i would think the equivilent would be safe mode on boot so i'll try that and see if it works
Hey starchy Okay... I'm out of ideas. Your computer seem perfectly normal to me. Sorry for not being able to help you, and hope you find better advice from other people. Do try at other forums as well. Best Regards
Yeah I know its crazy no virus's either everything is working normal except that... Im almost considering reformating it and reinstalling windows back to normal...0_o
