Hi Andy,
There are some cases where the web designer does not make
saving an obvious option.
In this case, if you RIGHT click on the Download button, you
will find "Save Target as" in the resultant menu.
I've just done it myself, and it does work.
George.

Hi George -
Just tried downloading realplayer11 from:
www.real.co.uk
And there still doesn't appear to be a 'save button.'
What happens is that clicking on 'run' brings up the Real
download
installer, so it seems that instead of firstly downloading
then installing
Realplayer, it now installs from the website. The extra
problem with this is
that the 'terms and conditions' agreement pops up, and the
buttons to
accept/decline don't appear to be accessible to JFW, so I
have been unable
to continue with the instillation.
If you've time, maybe you could take a look please? I'm
imagining this is
nothing to do with Vista, maybe it's just the new Realplayer
way, but if it
is, then it's a problem! -
Andy

| Hi Andy,
|
| You will have to look closer at each dialog.
|
| First, Run will download the file to a temporary folder,
let
| you install the software, and then delete the downloaded
| file. Save will allow you to store a copy permanently.
|
| When you click Save, a dialog will come up with focus on
the
| name of the file. You will need to tab around this dialog
| until you get to the Drive and Folder field where you can
| then select the folder you wish to store the file in.
|
| George.

| Hi all -
|
| Anybody tell me where Vista puts downloaded software from
| the internet? In
| XP, there is a 'save in' box, but the choices in Vista
seem
| to be to run or
| cancel a download; it appears that run is the same as
save,
| but it doesn't
| seem to offer a choice of where to save. From what I have
| seen so far, it
| chooses to save in the temporary folder, and I can't even
| find that under
| Vista!
|
| Help please <smile> -
