Take a look in users/download it might be in there. If you gave a folder in the root of the C drive you don't have permission to do anything there nor see it.

Hello, You might check the following locations: C:\Users\$user$\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Temporary Internet Files\Low C:\Users\$user$\appdata\Local\VirtualStore Where $user$ is your username.  Signature- JB Windows Vista Support Faq http://www.jimmah.com/vista/ Hi, I am having the same problem as abdullah "I cannot find files I have downloaded". The problem is when I look in the suggested locations by Jimmy Brush there is no folder called appdata in users. Plaese help Hello, The AppData folder is hidden, and it is inside your user folder, not the users folder. To get to it, you can type it directly in to the address bar at the top of the explorer window. - Click a blank area in the bar at the top - it will turn into a box that you can type in - Type: C:\Users\NAME\AppData (Where NAME is your username) - Press enter Signature- JB Microsoft MVP - Windows Shell/User Windows Vista Support Faq http://www.jimmah.com/vista/ Ok I understand, I now have the appdata folder in user, it was hidden, however is till cannot see the files. I have tried "show hidden files" but they are still not there i have looked in all the locations and have ran numerous searches. Do you have any other suggestions? You said in my thread the files were security-restricted. I have saved them to other locations like documents pictures etc. and they are still not being displayed. Everytime the download dialogue box gets to 99% it closes itself and I hear a sound. What could this be? Did you look in these folders: C:\Users\$user$\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Temporary Internet Files\Low C:\Users\$user$\appdata\Local\VirtualStore I believe they should be in these somewhere. I'm afraid I have no explanation why your downloads wouldn't appear in your documents/download folder - there should not be a problem downloading to those folders. Signature- JB Microsoft MVP - Windows Shell/User Windows Vista Support Faq http://www.jimmah.com/vista/ I Checked the following: > C:\Users\$user$\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Temporary Internet Files\Low When I did this I got as far as the Windows folder. I could not proceed as there is no folder named "Temporary Internet Files" in "Windows" I then tried this location: > C:\Users\$user$\appdata\Local\VirtualStore I got to the "Virtual Store" folder. There were no files in it but there were 2 more folders, "Windows" and "Program Files" I'm not sure what the problem could be. Do you know an e-mail address where I can contact windows about this? If not I will just have to reinstall Windows Vista. Thank You for your help! > I then tried this location: > >> C:\Users\$user$\appdata\Local\VirtualStore > > I got to the "Virtual Store" folder. There were no files in it but there > were 2 more folders, "Windows" and "Program Files" Try checking inside these folders, as well as any folders inside them. There shouldn't be that many. You should also try clicking Start, clicking Computer, and then browsing to the folder that your files should be in. If there is a button on the toolbar that says "Show compatability files", your files may be there. > I'm not sure what the problem could be.

You might try here: http://support.microsoft.com/windowsvista Signature- JB Microsoft MVP - Windows Shell/User Windows Vista Support Faq http://www.jimmah.com/vista/ I'm facing the same issue. Does anyone has a fix for this please reply. I'm unable to find the file after the download, no matter where do I save it. May it be My Documents, Downloads, Desktop, etc. It completes the download and the file dissappears. And its not only with exe files as I have tried downloading zip, pdf, exe, rar but of no avail. File is not even locatable in the search, it simply vanishes. > I'm facing the same issue. > [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > > File is not even locatable in the search, it simply vanishes. I have the same problem. Search provides the shortcut with a target to the folder and the file name, but the file is not there. Microsoft wants to charge me $60 to tell me how to fix their software issue on this somewhat unstable operating system. Does anyone @ Microsoft read these or know how to resolve this issue? > I'm facing the same issue. > [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > > File is not even locatable in the search, it simply vanishes. Hi, I had exactly the same problem and no one could help. I was using IE8 at the time and all I did was to change browser. I now use Google's Chrome. You can watch the download progress, run it and install it. It also saves the file in your default directory, which when you visit, there it is. I worked for me. I hope this helps.
