Can no longer download file using Win XP
Not sure if this is the site's problem so something with Win XP ?
Of course the site help desk immediately says it's Win XP so I need help. I previously was able to download and account file (CVS format) to my old Win98SE PC with no problem. I tried to do it using my new Win XP Media 2005 PC and it won't do it. It does come up with the windows which asks me where I want to save it, although if I try to download the same file in Quicken or Money it works. It ends up downloading to a web page in text format. Any ideas what's happening here ? I have a Dell Inspirion 1505 with Dual Core Processor 1 gb memory / 1 gb hard drive / Using the McAfee suite that came with it. |

Nancy
Can you please try and rephrase your question? You say it asks you where you want to save it. If you tell it where, then surely you are downloading it? I assume you are using Internet Explorer? ....Alan -- Alan Edwards, MS MVP Windows - Internet Explorer http://dts-l.org/index.html On Sun, 2 Apr 2006 13:27:31 -0400, in microsoft.public.windowsxp.newusers "Nancy" wrote: Not sure if this is the site's problem so something with Win XP ?

You might look at your Associations for "CSV" in tools-folder options-file
types. Compare to old computer if you still have it. SG "Nancy" wrote in message ... Not sure if this is the site's problem so something with Win XP ?

Alan, sorry I guess I didn't make it clear. When I try to download the
CVS file it doesn't even ask me where I want to save it. It just starts download to the web page in Text. When I tried Quicken & Money, it did ask where to save it (like normal). Thanks !

That is different.
No doubt you mean CSV not CVS? You set this for each file type, e.g. for .csv Windows Explorer-Tools-Folder Options-File Types Find the .CSV association (may be Microsoft Office Excel Comma Separated Values File) Edit, (or click Advanced on ME or XP) and check the "Confirm open after download" box The path to Folder Options may vary according to your operating system. It may be: Explorer-View-Folder Options Explorer-Tools-Folder Options Start-Settings-Folder Options Start-Settings-Control Panel-Folder options. ....Alan -- Alan Edwards, MS MVP Windows - Internet Explorer http://dts-l.org/index.html On Sun, 2 Apr 2006 21:15:55 -0400, in microsoft.public.windowsxp.newusers "Nancy" wrote: Alan, sorry I guess I didn't make it clear.

Can no longer download file using Win XP
Yes Alan, I meant CSV. I did as instructed and then tried to download the
file again. Didn't work. Still not getting the Save window to select which file I want to save the file to. When I click on download it says, "transferring file: https:/www.xxxxonlinebanking.org/account/historydownload.asp" and then it appears as a txt file or an error report "missing file: https:/www.xxxxonlinebanking.org/becustyle.css" The xxx's are to protect the actual name of the bank. Is this something with Win XP or the bank's program. I did try downloading this file on a Win XP PC and it worked? Thanks in advance for your help ! "Alan Edwards" wrote in message ...

Can no longer download file using Win XP
I finally came across the answer to my problem I previously posted
in the MS Office Knowledge Base files. Here is the fix, in case someone else has this problem. __________________________________________________ ________ Symptom When you click a URL to a .CSV document, you may not be prompted to save the file, and the .CSV file may automatically open in Microsoft Excel. RESOLUTION To enable the open / save prompt for .CSV files, try this: a.. Open Control Panel, double-click Folder Options b.. Click the File Types dialog c.. Select XLS (Microsoft Excel Worksheet) d.. Click the Advanced button e.. Enable the option Confirm open after download f.. Click OK, OK to close the dialog __________________________________________________ _______ "Nancy" wrote in message ... Tried this and it didn't work. Lowered my security level, that didn't work.
