I can't go to an operation (example: like Download) twice when I am at a site. I have to close IE
than go back. Is there any way around this?

However, I can do it if it is a link to that page or other web site.

Have a good day!

I know I've seen a recent KB article about this but I can't find it right
now. More, later.

What are your Windows and IE versions, please? If WinXP, is it WinXP SP2?

Enable "Show Hidden Files and Folders"

My Windows XP is Media Center Edition 2005. Build 2600.xpsp_sp2_gdr.05301-1519, (Service pack 2)
and my IE is version 6.0.2900.2180.xpsp_sp2_grd.05301-1519

To keep track of things, it helps immensely if you include all of previous
message(s) in your replies to the newsgroup. Thank you.

> [URLMON.DLL is] Version 6.0.2900.2960

And does the problem persist since installing the most recent Cumulative
Security Update for IE (which you have)?

My news reader Agent usually does this don't know why it only shows the last message?

It seems to be a little better but it did happen again today.

Have a good day!

The hotfix I was thinking of would give you a URLMON.DLL version older than
the one you have now, so I don't think it'd address your issues.

Can you cite one or more URLs or download links where this occurs?

Hi,
It defintely happened here:

http://support.wdc.com/download/?cxml=n&pid=19&swid=40
I hit the My book premium edition than went to D/L MY book Premium edition software. It did it the
first time. At this point you need a serial number so I canceled it and tried to go back to do it
again it wouldn't work.

I think it also happened @ COMPUSA.com Not sure.

That sounds like site- and/or file-specific restrictions to safeguard
against multiple downloads.

Compare to Webroot SpySweeper's free trial version: If you download it once,
you won't be able to download it a second time; ditto if you try to
reinstall the trial version you first downloaded or use an installer someone
else downloaded.

You could be right, but I thought it also happened at Compusa? I just don't remember.
