I use a win98 OS with gozilla as download manager.my default web browser is Opera5.
the problem is whenever i try to download some software,the download opens up in a new window instead of starting in gozilla.and if I use internet explorer as default web browser then the download starts fine i.e.in gozilla. I find it extremely frustrating when it gets disconnected in between some download as there is no resume feature and i have to start all over again.please help.

Neve really used opera, bu this sounds like there's a file type within opera that needs to be set. IE will use the windows files types, which probobly why it explains i works there and not in Opera

You should be able to inok in the windows file types (view, options, file types tab) first to get the exact path to launch gozilla and then find where in Opera these are entered and change the options from something like ask user or prompt to what you just found in the file types.

Good luck toyou
