my "file download" dialog box doesn't pop up anymore (quicktime does) 1

[trigonz]

Recently, everytime I try to simply download something of the internet (i.e. a program setup), the normal "File Download" window doesn't appear--the one that asks you whether or not you'd like to run it from its current location or save it somewhere. Instead, a QuickTime error window pops up saying "QuickTime is missing software required to perform this operation. Unfortunately, it is not available on the QuickTime server." I don't think downloading off the internet has anything to do with QuickTime. I've tried uninstalling QuickTime, but nothing changed. Please help! Thanks

This should fix it. Click start--run--type regedit and click ok. Doubleclick on each of these:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Plugins

After you doubleclick on the Plugins key you'll see a key named Extension underneath. Right click on the Extension key and delete it. Then close regedit. Downloads should work now. If not restart the computer and then try it.

Note: I'm referring to the Extension key under Plugins not the Extensions key under Internet Explorer. Don't delete the wrong one cause they aren't the same.
