| 240000 | 2004-05-29 12:53:00 | Hi metla - if you read this could you give me a few clues about using FlashGet? I can't get it to work. I am thick. Does one have to use copy and paste to get the address of the web page you are viewing into the 'New Download' box in 'jobs', or is there another way of getting FlashGet to work? When one has downloaded a webpage, it is saved in C:\downloads automatically. But..... I can't open the files! I get the message 'No application is associated with the specified file for this operation'. And also the webpage is saved as 'file' with no extension after it. How do I open these files? Thanks |

| 240001 | 2004-05-29 13:16:00 | Weird,Seems like you may have a bad install,its certainly not behaving how it should. It should monitor your browser and intergrate itself as the default download agent,taking over whenever you click a link to a file or rightclick and choose to pluck files out of a page. You can force it to be the default downloader by selecting Tools>options>monitor>Default download manager. This is what flashget has to say under that tab. Selecting OK will reset and enable all FlashGet integration with your browser for automatic downloading. Sometimes other programs and utilities will interfere with the integration process, even going to the length of changing your user settings in order to keep their hold on your system. Some of these programs are installed without your knowledge or consent and are carried as unacknowledged installations delivered with other well-known packages. Often relying on being loaded at system startup and constantly running, they use up unnecessary processor time on your computer in an attempt to control your machine. If you experience browser integration problems, run this utility to attempt to restore FlashGet's original functionality. If this fails, locate the conflicting installation and remove it completely. If this still doesn't alleviate the problem, please re-install FlashGet. You need to shut down and restart your computer after reinstallation. And now back to me.. As to your question about pasting the url in,under normal operation Flashget should work well enough to not need it(obviously not in this case at the moment though) but if the program is working as designed and the scenrio comes about that its needed then the best way to do so is to click edit>paste url. Flashget also has an inbuilt site explorer(very handy when snooping)and is capable of picking only designated file types off a site...gees,starting to sound like a sales rep,Hope you get it sorted. |

| 240002 | 2004-05-30 07:00:00 | Hi metla, Thanks for all your patience in trying to help me, however the computer bogeyman and my limited brain power, are still causing a lack of useful results! Have reinstalled, have got a bit further than before, in that by right-clicking on the page and 'download all by Flashget' (which is something you mentioned earlier on in the thread I think) Flashget appears to be playing some part in the download. However I still have the problem with a big page of 50 pictures to download, it won't download the last ten or so. However I can live with it, and thanks for your efforts to help. |
