Hi,
I recently bought a new PC which has windows 7 on it. I had been using windows xp on my old PC, and had never used windows vista because of the reported problems / dissatisfaction with same. Since using windows 7, I have only had two problems:
(a) not being able to set my folder view the way I wanted it (clicking the appropriate option did nothing) but happily a colleague found a fix for this one.
(b) not being able to download .pdfs from websites (I usually use Mozilla Firefox as a browser, but have also tried on Opera and Internet explorer (8 I think) – same problem).
I am stumped with (b) – sometimes if I go back and click the link again I’m able to download the second time, but most of the time it does not matter how much I try – no joy.
Clicking on such links brings up a little dialogue box that says “Adobe” and an “ok” button – I click the button, it looks like the document is loading (progress bar, etc), I sometimes even see a flash of text for a second, then nothing – bottom left corner of my screen says “done” and I have a completely blank tab to look at. Doing a refresh does nothing.
Any ideas? Unfortunately I have no idea what the difference is between the few times I’m able to download, and most of the time (when I can’t).
Many thanks…
