Downloading items, try to run them, they have been removed, HELP

[scovert550]

I am running Vista, and when it shows the item has been downloaded, I attempt to run it and I get the message that the item has been removed. I can't get anything...Please help!



Thanks,

What did you download? What exactly are you doing and what is the exact message you are receiving? Without exact details it's impossible to troubleshoot why Windows Vista is telling you that it's not finding a file.

I try to download anything, PDf's, Excel Spreadsheets, pictures and even music. I am using google chrome (even when I use Mozilla and IE) it shows the download in the lower left of the screen, tells me the download time left, the when complete, I try to open it, and it says cannot find "the file" it may have been removed.

What browser are you using? Try this - if it says "open download folder" or something like that, open the folder where you've downloaded the file. Do you see it in there? How much free space do you have on your hard drive? Are you saving these files to you temp folder? Are you trying to launch the file directly after downloading by clicking on the browser tab/button for the file?
