windows xp- ie 6 with sp1


Hi,
i have a windows (personal edition) XP laptop with 2 accounts and i have a problem. When i try to temporarily download a file in order to open it, the program which opens the file complains that it cannot find it. It appeared suddenly. I have to save the file in a well known location (for example "My Documents") in order to open it. Any suggestions?

Thanks

Where were you saving the file, what type of file is it, is your account a limited or full admin account, do you have permissions to download to wherever you tried to download to in the first place?

You need to give us some information so we can help....

It's the first time i forget to provide these kind of details
Forunately the problem was solved by MANUALLY removing all kind of temp files, that tend to flood the system. Thanks anyway

Cool. Windows loooooves temp files and sees fit to scatter them everywhere and let's them grow and flourish.
