I have a client whose IE6 is unable to download files, any files, any format except windows updates. All else works fine. All privacy, Security, Content areas are set to default. Windows 98 has been updated and appears to be running fine. No hardware issues were noted. I have been unable to correct this problem. Is there a fix?

Well....could be that the client has been allowed to only download windows updates by a Filter in ISA server[if the network is running ISA server]. Custom filters can be set to allow a client to only connect to one remote computer defined by IP address or a range of computers by IP address. Check out any filters you might have if your network is running a firewall service like ISA server or another 3rd party firewall service.

I cannot answer your question, but I got the same problem with IE6, and it seems that even if you remove your IE6 and go back to IE 5.5, the problem would be permanent. Glad that I clean install my Win 2000 and never plan on going back to IE6. Thisis not a hate mail, but something is wrong with IE6.
