I know this is not strictly Poser but it is preventing me downloading. I am using Windows Xp and suddenly when I click a download button Windows starts opening the file (straight to a temp file then to WINZIP) instead of asking if I really want to save and then saving it to my Poser Zip Folder so that I can open it later. This happened before and someone I knew told me what option I needed to uncheck. I did not make a note of it (duh!) and it has happened again (though I do not know why). Please, can anyone save my sanity!!!!

Try going to Tools>Internet Options>Advanced and clicking Restore Defaults. Evo

If that doesn't work, go to Windows Explorer, then Tools: Folder Options: File Types. Look for WinZip file. Select it and hit Edit. Put the checkmark in for "Confirm open after download." It should prompt you where to save after that. Cheers!

That was it Crescent - thank you so much! I will write it down this time - I tried everything but could not for the life of me remember it. Thanks ever so much.
