Problem Getting Download Stats to appear

[Illini25]

A friend of mine is having a problem getting his download stats to appear when he's downloading any certain type of file. I.E. Transfer rate, how much remaining of file, time of file, ect.

All he is showing is a 'computer with down arrow'. Is there a place where you have to select to show the stats? My pc shows everything, but I have no idea if there is even a place to change it.

Does anyone have any idea's on where that might be?

Thanks for any help:)

Have I stumped you all??? hehe Any idea's? I even did a remote assistance with the friend and looked through his IE advanced settings and I couldnt find anything out of the ordinary. :(

how about downloading analog x? ro maybe statbar? i love them both. they give so much. you could also get a download manager if you really need to know how much is left and how much of the file you recived.

as far as it not showing up in ie. may go set the ie setting to default for everything if ya havnt already done so. if he's using xp. install sp1. it gives ya a new download promt

you try reistalling Ie?

[Illini25]

I think that might be my only option. Hopefully, that will fix it.

okay .. tell the friend to launch IE hit alt+v and then b..
now download something.

[UnitedWeStand]

if that don't do it..
then you gotta get in to internet properties, Security, Internet custom and scroll down to enable downloads check. then click ok
exit internet properites.. then launch IE and download something.

Thanks United for the responses... Im at work now, but when I get home this evening I'll try what you suggest...Fingers X

[Illini25]

Well...I tried what you said to do United, but same thing is happening. Oh well. Think I'll go ahead and uninstall - reinstall IE.

Thanks for all your help folks,

w00000000t!!! I fixed it!! I finally figured it out, lmao!!

It was happening just to .zip files that was causing the download box not to appear. Basically, I went into windows explorer/tools/folder options/file types/zip...and then click 'advanced' and selected 'confirm open after download' and boom!! its working!!

w0000000t!!!

Thanks for all your help peeps...much appreciated:)
