Open button is missing off file download box

Ironside · 10-16-2006, 09:40 PM

When I click to download something, the file download box normally comes up and I click open. On one of my computers, when the file load download box comes up, I only have the option to save or cancel, where has the open button gone

well.. does it do that with every download you make now? (regardless the site? )

Unless the extension of the file are formats that does not allow you to open directly, you will have to save it. Other than that, you can try a utitility called iefix to try and see if it could work that out for you.
