Netscape 8 Problem - Downloads not working..HELP!


Recommended Posts

This has happened twice now...I have installed Netscape and unistalled it to try and solve the problem. I have the latest version (8.0.3.1) of Netscape and I am having issues trying to download files from the net. Each time I click a download link instead of opening Download Manager and downloading the file, Netscape opens a new tab and spins its wheels and does nothing, or loads a blank window in the current tab. It seems as though Netscape idoesn't realize that the link is infact a download. I have tried downloading files from download.com, ect. all with the same result. Some one please help....Google doesn't turn up anything.

Thanks in advance.

Hmmm.thanks for the reply. Downloads do work in IE mode. Wonder what's wrong. I like Netscape better than firefox but oh well...may have to switch.
