| 106758 | 2002-12-17 02:54:00 | Hello. I know this question has been asked before and I have searched the archives without finding a definitive answer. The problem is when I click on download links on webpages displayed using IE6, I get a blank page displayed with a graphic placeholder icon in the top LH corner. The download dialog box never appears. Sometimes, but not always, I can get what I'm after using a right-click on the link and selecting Save target as..... Can anyone help with this problem? Thanks |

| 106759 | 2002-12-17 02:58:00 | sounds like you have or had a downloader app to download files instead of IE. | tweak'e (174) | ||
| 106760 | 2002-12-17 03:04:00 | I have a Q as well. How do i disable Quicktime so it doesn't play MP3's in IE and instead I get a download box? For example clicking a link directly to the file in a mIRC or Messenger window won't give me a download box, instead it brings up an IE window and quicktime starts downloading it. :| I can't right click - save target as with mIRC or Messenger so that doesn't work. Yep... Also i can't find it in the quicktime options. | Adam_with_HP (2601) | ||
| 106761 | 2002-12-17 19:21:00 | Thanks, tweak'e Yes, I use Download Mage and that picks up the download if the click is directly on a file like exe or zip most times, but some links for download are a redirection to the download file and IE doesn't seem to like those at all. It hasn't always been so and I wondered what may have changed and how to fix it. Maybe re-install IE6 is the answer? |

| 106763 | 2002-12-17 21:18:00 | Start>Settings>ControlPanel and double-click the QuickTime icon. Then select "Browser Plugin" in the menu and click the "MIME settings" button. Double-click to select and deselect MIME types. A plus (+) sign indicates a particular MIME type will be handled by the plugin. |
