| 552269 | 2007-05-22 23:11:00 | Thanks for viewing. I'm trying to download a file and all I get is a text file with the extension .apsx with gobbledegook in it. It's supposed to be a pdf file from Microsoft support site. i can't find out what to do about it. I'm guessing I have some link missing that is supposed to happen when you click on a download file link like this? Does anybody know what I have done to my PC? I've been cleaning out stuff, but I'm not sure what stuff this was part of. i reinstalled the .net 2.0 framework thingy, but that didn't help. Any suggestions anyone? |

| 552271 | 2007-05-23 00:17:00 | What browser am I using? - That question did the trick. Of course Firefox didn't work at Microsoft download site, so I clicked the IE tab option and link worked properly. Thanks Stu, just what I was looking for - a trigger.:) | Eorr (2788) | ||

| 552273 | 2007-05-23 04:09:00 | FF will work on the MS download site, if u get the WGAplugin.. Then u can download from the MS site as well. With FF. I had a similar prob with 1 site the other day, it kept on bringing up the download window asking to load html. I uninstalled FF deleted its folder etc and reinstalled it. That fixed it. |

Or you could just get IE tab, click on the icon once and be done...:D |
