I have a problem. I have changed something in my proxy server settings that causes the web broweser on the client machines to try and download the page instead of displaying it. It is using the application/x-msdownload mime interface to accoplish this. I don't know what i changed as i was also in the middle of a virus problem. Can anyone help me and suggest any fixes. I am hoping that the problem is with the proxy because it has affected every client machine. I thought at first it may have beenthe virus, but it was not. It may also be in my IIS server. I can go to the client machines and uncheck mark the settings in the web browsers configuration that cause it to use the proxy. As long as the proxy client software is installed the browsers will work. But i need to fix this problem. the message say "you are trying to download '/ from excite[2]' do you wish to save or open in its place. This happens with any web page that i try to go to.

You do not mention what version of Proxy you are using but try this anyway:

The Scripts virtual directory may have Read access AND Script (or None) permissions enabled.

To resolve:

On the Proxy Server computer, open the Microsoft Management Console (MMC).
2. In the MMC, open the tree for the default Web site by clicking the plus sign (+) beside it.

3. Open the properties for the Scripts virtual directory by right-clicking on the Scripts virtual directory and choosing Properties.
4. Click the Virtual Directory tab, click to remove the check mark next to the "Read" Access Permission, and then select the "Execute (including script)" permission.

5. Save the changes by clicking OK.
