Ive been spending the last few days going between many different support forums of windows 7, kaspersky and also yahoo answers in hope to fix this google-shy problem im having with no luck, replies even.when i try to download any application file (i believe they're most usually .exe file?) it opens the dialogue box and i am able to choose location and the file name. Once i have done so it sits at the bottom of my chrome browser until it shows the download is complete. once i click on it, it gives me the standard windows message ''windows cannot find (file pathway and name). make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again''.So I tried internet explorer, i click on the completed download/or even try to open the containing folder and the same error msg crops up again.I changed file locations, even onto a different internal hdd and also i changed the file name before saving, no success.I figured it must be being seen as a virus by my kaspersky (windows defender is switched off btw) but couldn't find anything that seemed out of place to me (but then im certainly no expert with security programs because i just leave them to do there thing).
It was suggested i get hold of the kaspersky's getsysteminfo.exe (being an application i downloaded it onto a friends pc and brought it over via a usb) to send usage, spec and settings report which i did but unfortunately never got a reply from the forum. i looked at the report myself, with little clue what is normal or not... i convinced myself with a little googling that it was the 'nVidia forceware network access manager' causing the problem, i didnt even know i had such a program and it turns out to be a firewall 'software/hardware(!) thingy' i guess as part of my nvidia 680lt motherboard. so i uninstalled it and with that came no success either.btw i forgot to mention files such as jpegs, docs, music andvideo files work fine, i can download them no problem without the file going missing, yet any file for a program such as google drive or getsysteminfo or whatever and my pc doesn't want know.can a registry problem effect one type of file and the resulting behaviour, is it a virus even -kaspersky doesnt think so though.
I open a file sent to me in email, click enable editing, work on it for three hours, hitting save all the while, then go to email it back and the file is gone. It isn't in my documents where I saved it, and it isn't under recent files. I am sure you can relate to the feeling of losing something you have worked hard on and I feel
My Mother has forgotten her pw to log into her pc. She has taken it to the store she bought it from and they told her that she is going to have to buy, I guess a recovery cd in able to restore her pc so that she can use it. I understand this and know it will work.If she uses the restore cd, will she lose all her files?
I am having a terrible time saving and then being able to open up files that I need. Can someone help me to understand how this works with Window 7, please.
I have a M4 Crucial 128GB SSD which I want to use as my boot disk as well as for a few games and all my drivers just for quicker loading times etc etc, in conjunction with the 128GB SSD I have a 1 TB Seagate HDD that I want to use for the more mass amount of my storage such as documents, music, movies, general games etc etc. I have already installed things such as AVG, Chrome, Skype, Vent, and 2 of my more majorly played games on my computer and everything I download is default saving to my SSD when I'd rather it save to my HDD and move it to my SSD after.
I have received a link which has 50 jpg files in it. I opened the link and all the pictures are there. I clicked on select all and all files are highlighted and i clicked on save as but only one file is saved.
before i update to windows seven my recovery was not full now it full i deleted the back and now i want it to stop saving all of my files like pictures, video, program file, etc
I have an SSD as my OS drive and HDD as a storage drive. If I setup any program to save downloaded files to my storage HDD (specifically the program Newsleecher for Usenet downloading) and allowing it to extract the downloaded rar files into the same storage HDD, would the files still "go through" the SSD before finally saving/extracting to the HDD?
I recieved a Dell Insipron 1545 about a year and a half ago, with windows 7 pre-installed on it. Unfortunate circumstances have led me to have to reinstall windows 7 on my laptop. When I did (With the installation disks that came with my laptop) It kept sending me notifications that my recovery drive was full, and everything I tried to save would automatically attempt to save on the recovery drive and fail. Thus my laptop is almost useless because I can't reinstall any of my programs, games or transfer my pictures, videos and documents back onto it. I was promted to try and reinstall again, but this time specify that is be saved in the OS drive, not the recovery drive. I did this and it only led to the exact same results.
On Win7 I'm having an issue where when I move the files from my Canon digital camera to the hard drive the date taken on the videos are not saving. It sets them at the time I moved them to the hard drive instead.
When trying to save a file, the save dialog will not display the contents of a folder or drive in the content pane. When I click on a drive or folder in the navigation pane the content pane only displays the 'No items match your search' message. When I try to save the file in the Documents folder I get a 'The file name is not valid' message. This happens in some programs(Notepad++, Firefox, IE7) but not others(Notepad). This also happens in Firefox, Chrome and IE7 when I'm trying to upload a file to the internet(either my webserver(a Joomla CMS) or Soundcloud.com(A music sharing site).
I can no longer upload files to the internet. When I try to Internet Explorer 9 crashes and restarts. The same thing happens when I right click on a picture on the internet and try to save it to my computer. The only changes to my computer was I upgraded the Norton Anti Virus software. I've reinstalled IE9 and same thing. I tried reinstalling Norton and same thing.
Every time I try to download something I get taken to CNET home page. I have tried every solution listed under help and they have not worked. I tried emailing customer support and they told me I have to talk to a specialist and there is no way I am paying $38, refundable or not. I have tried google chrome and firefox. Using IE is out of the question. I might as well throw my laptop out the window. It will probably do less damage.
Computer was working fine two days ago, but yesterday I noticed that I can't seem to download any files anymore. I've tried with Chrome, IE, saving/opening the files, restarting my computer, saving to different locations (both C: and D... I have also run a full computer virus scan using Avast; a full-malware scan using Malwarebytes; disk check (x2); system check; restarting computer on safe mode with networking... all to no avail. Problem still persists.When I save to the desktop I watch the file - and once the download finishes the file completely disappears. Opening via Chrome says that the location can't be found. When IE is used and I uncheck the close box dialogue, it just blanks out on open folder location. This is really interfering with my ability to download lecture notes for class...Attached is an error I get when scanning using HijackThis, and its subsequent log. Also, the results from my disk check (I'm not sure if it's pertinent).
I am having trouble opening all .exe files in windows 7. I don't have a virus protection. I had it before I did a system restore, and had a free version of avg. It is now gone and now I cannot get any antivirus dowloads what soever. What do I do?

If i use other browsers like chrome, firefox its working and files get downloaded.Lenovo Laptop Pentium Dual Core T4500 32 bit operating system Windows7
My computer has decided that it doesnt want to download any files out of emails. When I go to open a pdf file, we will say, it asks if I want to download it, which it never does, or save it. Either option I try it says that dowlaod failed try again

I can't download files from any browser. It says the download is complete but I can't open it or it doesn't show up in my computer. Even if I just save a picture since saving a picture is considered downloading a file. I can't even say "Allow" when Internet Explorer wants to install Adobe Flash Player. The only thing I can do is run torrents through BitComet to download.
i dont know what ive done, but ANYTHING i download, comes as a utorrent file, so i cant open them.usually when i download a movie i can watch it, or games i can play them
Anything I try to open, I get the: Security Download or open window. So I download the file or folder, and it takes me to the file-folder, but windows won't open it, and the same security download or run Box asks me to Download it again. Thus, nothing opens.
I cannot download exe files on windows 7. When I attempt to do so the notification bar on IE9 only gives me the option of 'save' or 'save as'. There used to be an option to 'run' from the notification bar. When when I attempt to save nothing appears to happen. If I 'save as' to desktop a folder appears on desktop which when clicked offers the option to open or cancel, clicking on open brings up a menu which asks what program I want to use to open the file with.
I'm running Windows 7. When I "right click, save" pics from the web, they oftentimes show up as a flat colored line. In the folder they've been saved in, the thumbnail looks normal, but when you open it, it's a mess. Or the picture is compressed to the point it no longer resembles the original photo.
I have an HP Pavilion PC, Windows 7, 1 yr old. It has never recognized the presence of a blank writable disc in the disc drive. When trying to save any type of file, it gives a "no disc in drive - insert a disc" message, even when a new writable disc has been inserted.
Suddenly Windows Live Mail has gone erratic in saving emails in Sent Items. Problem just cropped up in the last few days. The option to save-in-Sent is checked.
Doing several tests of a series of three emails sent to the same address, it generally does not save the first one but DOES save the subsequent emails. Have run this test several times with the same result. For some reason, it skips the first one sent to an particular address but then saves others sent immediately. However, after an interval of time, another new message to that same address will not be saved the first time it's sent.
The messages are being sent -- I have received those that I sent to myself (to another account) and friends tell me they have received messages that I know were not saved to Sent Items. No changes were made to Windows Live Settings prior to this problem arising. It was working fine a week ago.
Operating system is Windows 7 Ultimate x64 with Windows Live Mail 2011 Version 2011 (Build 15.4.3538.0513)
I'm using windows Live email and I lost all my saved emails which were serveral hundred. I had a folder in the same root as my Inbox with sub folders and now they are gone. I would like to make a folder on the root directory of my hard drive and save them to that so this does not happen again. I have 3 hard drives so every couple of days I can just copy them over to the other 2 hard drives so this really can not happen again. What a nightmare. How can I do this?
