| Download and "RUN" - "Windows cannot access specified device, path "...you may not have appropriate permissions....". Funny thing is, this just started recently. SAVING the download works fine; it just won't allow me to OPEN/RUN a download. And I had admin rights (my own pc) and I am virus/spyware free. Windows XP HOME, IE 7.0. Wasn't exactly sure where to post this, so I started here. Anyone have any ideas on this? Not a biggied, but frustrating, nonetheless. Thanks! Andy |

| Re: Download and "RUN" - "Windows cannot access specified device, Hi, Mark... This is for ANY program that I download and try to OPEN/RUN. My security options seem to be set fine, as this was never a problem until recently. Next up - disabling all on-adds to IE 7.0, and then activating one by one until I find the one causing me problems, if this is even the case. Any comments? Thanks!

| Re: Download and "RUN" - "Windows cannot access specified device, Well, I should have checked this from the start - I have determined that this is an issue with my firewall - ZONEALARM PRO, so I am contacting them.

| Re: Download and "RUN" - "Windows cannot access specified device, Well, Mark, turns out it WAS the firewall - corrupted ZA db. How it got corrupted? I'm being told this happens sometimes when upgrading. I upgraded to 7.0 some time ago, so who knows? I had to boot in SAFE MODE and delete the db and start a new one, so I will have to reply "allow" to a bunch of messages again. BUT...it's fixed....finally. Thanks again!
