downloading programs

mikepro · 05-08-2008, 08:07 PM

I am unable to open downloaded programs from the Internet. Am using Windows XP and IE7. The problem seems to be a file association related problem and/or a Windows Installer problem. Any suggestions are welcome.

Hello and welcome to TSF

What are the extensions of the programs you are trying to run?

What version of IE do you have?

These are exe extensions. I am running EI version 7.
Thanks

Can you run normals exe files without a problem/

when you download a exe does the size match to what is says on the website?

Yes, I can run normal exe files, ie from a software CD. The size of the file indicates the same as what was downloaded.
Thanks,
