downloads locking up ie7 explorer

Well I was doing my best to run and live with Vista full time, but I've had to give the idea up now as each time I try to download something I get the box up to select the download area are both ie and explorer lock :(

You see, this happened to me as well but after disabling UAP and restarting, it did it once and then never did it again. Really don't kno what the cause of it is, but that worked for me. Have you got any toolbars added into IE?

I have not encountered this personally on IE 7, but I think did have some issues going to the Download folders, what I did was, go to the root of the drive, open Users > "User Account" (adacosta ie) > open Downloads and it save the download to that location. If that does not work, give this a try:
Try disabling UAP and see if it fixes the issue, Click Start > All Programs

Accessories > Run > type MSCONFIG > Tools (tab) scroll down > select Disable UAP > click Launch > OK.

Use Firefox to download it works fine in beta 2, as does Thunderbird

UAP is already turned off, but I solved it last night by choosing a different (non-default) area for saving the files. Weird. -- Tekguru (Daron Brewood) MS-MVP/Mobile Devices

I dislike either of those. Hmm, wonder if my fave browser shell (Maxthon) will work with IE7 underneath it? -- Tekguru (Daron Brewood) MS-MVP/Mobile Devices
