I Can't Save Downloaded Programs and Office 2007 Documents

    I have Vista Home Premium and Office 2007 Ultimate. Recently, I've noticed
    that when I go to save a downloaded program, it goes through the motions,
    then disappears. Also, when I go to save a document in Office 2007, it also
    goes through the motions, then disappears. Does anyone know how to fix this
    issue? I save a lot of documents in my profession, so I can't afford to not
    be able to. Thanks in advance.

    What is the Browser you're using...This must probably a problem with
    internet explorer.

    Suggested Options:
    1. Use Mozilla FireFox browser or Google chrome
    2. If your browser is IE7 upgrade to IE8.

    Have you tried disabling/removing any antivirus software you have installed?

    Hi. I tried that, but it didn't work. I downloaded Firefox as Pasan
    suggested, and it DID work! I also removed IE8, and that worked as well! Like
    Pasan said...it is an IE issue. Thanks for your help, Pasan and Dave!

    Well it's not an IE8 issue here, so presumably you've got something else on
    your machine which is causing this behaviour...
