All my Downloads aren't showing up!

Chrisroman · 05-06-2009, 03:37 PM

I have the latest version of the Firefox browser (3.0.10)
I'm using an Admin account on Windows Vista Home Premium.

When ever I download ANYTHING it just doesn't show up to the designated download folder set from Mozilla Download Manager.

This all Started oddly after a restarted my laptop.
After that I've been getting this problem.

(Took screen-shots for accuracy)

My Hp Laptop Specs:

______________________________________...

First I open my Firefox Browser and do the following
Tools>Options> Save files to: "Downloads"

Then I download a random file (Gimp Photo Editor)

When the download says its finished, I then go to "Downloads"

Open the "Downloads" Folder, And no Gimp file whatsoever (folder empty)

______________________________________...

Okay okay, so I then restart my laptop.

So maybe somethings wrong with the "Downloads" folder.
I'll just go with saving my download to my "Desktop" instead.
Much easier right?
Wrong. Same sh*t.

Again here we go:
Tools>Options> Save files to: "Desktop"

Thinking, "Hmm maybe its the file I'm trying to download thats the problem"
Again wrong, any and I mean ANY download will not show up.

I try again to download the most random file I picked from cnet.com
All to my "Desktop" where I set it to be.

Download Complete:

Go to my Desktop, BAM! absolutely nada again.

Many people tell me it has to do with a corrupt registry or something.
Others say it's a Virus or Spyware, Malware etc. Full AVG and Avast and Bitdeffender scan, And nothing found.

So again,
If you can help, know someone that may help, or have any links that can give me the solution. Please help

I would uninstall FireFox and reinstall it and see if your problem clears up. There's an application called mozbackup out there to back up your profile.

What exactly is this "versiontracker Pro" you're installing? It could be your antivirus program is pinging it as malware and removing it from your computer.

he is just showing us that his downloads don't show up, He's not installing "version Tracker" that I know of anyway. version tracker is safe it lets you know what versions your programs are running.
