I have had a mac for about a year, but this is baffling me... If i use Safari, Google Chrome or Firefox on sites such as cnet for example when i click the download link it brings up a webpage ending in .zip or .rar etc but doesn't start to download the file! This is ok as i can right click and save linked files as... But try download google chrome and it's impossible as you can't right click and save linked file as... (So i used opera to get it) but i hate opera, i like safari and chrome much more, any ideas on why this happens and/or a way to fix it! Thanks for any help in advance... (If anyone needs to know, im running snow leopard on a 2.4ghz 4gb ram white macbook) Macbook 2.4ghz, 250GB HDD, 4GB ram I-Pod Classic 120GB |

I cannot be held responsible for the things that come out of my mouth. In the Windows world, most everything folks don't understand is called a virus. Place your vote for our Member of the Month |
