Hello,

I have a strange problem. When ever I try to download something via a web browser my scripting editor pops open (it doesn't download). It doesn't matter which browser I use, I have tryied Safari, camino and IE.

Is there a setting on my powerbook that I can change that would fix this problem?

I hope you can help :eek:

repair permissions. After every software update, and about every 2 weeks: close all apps and log totally off. Log on, go in Finder, Applications. Utilities, Disk Utility. After the message -getting disk information- select volume (below the hard drive name -upper left corner). Just highlight it. Now look to the lower two things are there near the middle, verify permissions, repair permissions. Click repair permissions Also make sure you run cron tasks or use Mac Janitor, Finder, Applications. Utilities Terminal type (switching to root - superuser) sudo sh /etc/daily > this needs to be done /weekly (instead of daily) and monthly. again with all apps closed

witeshark,

I tried your suggestion and I am still getting the scripting windown when attempting to download.

I am able to download attachments with the other suggestion that was given in this post, thank you. Just wondering how I would go about fixing it so that I don't have to do that?

It sounds like a dependancy issue in the system. I would email Apple tech support about it, honestly. It's not something I've ever heard of happening.
