ceez Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 (edited) hello everyone,having a curious problem that started today. nothing has changed, running xpsp3 with ie7, no win updates performed this week.whenever I click on a link to download I'll get the window prompting to run or save. if I click on save the save window freezes and the windo turns white. I have to end task and it takes a few seconds before it actually goes away.instead of I click on run the download begins.is the browser stuck on some sort of temp folder?!?!this is a weird one.thanks for reading!ceez Edited April 13, 2009 by ceez Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cluberti Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 Can you take a hang dump of iexplore.exe with the dialog box on the screen? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ceez Posted April 13, 2009 Author Share Posted April 13, 2009 hey guys, sorry for the late reply but figure i would let you know how i fixed it. Apparently if I left the window alone for a long time the save location window would come up to %userprofile%. Odd cause I never save anything directly to there, usually to my desktop and then I move.I remembered that I had cleaned out some folders from my desktop the day before. I recreted one of the folders which I remembered and knew I was d/ling stuff onto. At first it still froze but after a reboot the save as dialog window came up pointing into that folder that I previously deleted. I changed it to my desktop and it's working fine. I know this is not a common issue and windows should be able to save wherever but I believe that system created some sort of "memory" in regards to the location of the save as folder.in regards to getting the dump information, I tried following your post on how to get it, but honestly I think I could not get it to work correctly or something. Either way, it's good info and will try it sometime to get it right.thanks again,ceez Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
