Windows Forum / Windows 98 / Software / May 2005Problem after download
Today I downloaded a newer version of Irfanview and the Irfanview Plugins. I have always downloaded updates to be installed to my desktop, then install then right click on the downloaded program file and delete. Never a problem till today. Today when I right clicked on the downloaded program icon (program was 5MB) the hour glass just hung. I had to ctrl-alt-delete and start at the command prompt and deleted the downloaded program from DOS mode. I then did my usual maintenance, cleared the temp folder via internet options from the control panel, scan the disk and defragged the disk. Ran spybot which did not seem to find anything unusual. Did a virus scan. I then downloaded the file again to a second hard drive on the PC with the same results. Running Win98SE, 128MB RAM,all window updates and IE updates have been applied. This is the first time for this issue. Any ideas ? Thanks in advance, BL The first download probably created a corrupted file, due to an error that occurred in the download process.. The location would not be relevant. To check, you need to try the download again to the desktop.

I then copied the downloaded file from the laptop desktop to a thumbdrive. When I connected the thumb drive to the desktop and tried to access the file by right clicking to copy, again the hour glass just hung . On the desktop pc I downloaded two large programs from 2 different sites (Microsofts ActiveSync and another professional pharmacy program from Epocrates) to my desktop and was able to right click on both downloaded programs and observe properties and then able to delete without issue. Wonder why the problem with Irfanview download. The programs did however install (slowly) successfully.
