Thanks Gerald and Julie,

Gerald I ddn't know you could release the books back in to the pending pool on the uploads page. I was afraid to try any other fixes because if they failed I was afraid the book would be out of the pool for a whole week. Now I can do a little trial and error without fear of holding books for too long.

Julie yes I'm using the information bar in windows xp, and I can't figure out how to disable it. I did try clicking on it and then selecting download file, but bookshare sees that as an attempt to take the file so when the information bar refreshes the page (or whatever it does) so that I can click on the link to download again, it gives me an error.

Thanks,
Laura

Hi, Laura. The other thing I can think of besides what Gerald suggested is
the information bar in Windows XP. You didn't say if that was what you were
using or not or if you did, I missed it. are you using JAWS or some other
screen reader? An Alt-N will bring up the information bar if that's the
problem and you can hit the spacebar then, which opens a menu where you can
choose to download the file. Take care.

Hi,

I just signed up with bookshare to be a volunteer last week though I've been
a bookshare subscriber for almost 2 years.

I'm having a problem and I've already tried several things to fix it.
Whenever I click on the link to download the .zip file, my internet explorer
blocks the file download.  When I click on the message and then select
"download file" it refreshes the page.  But by the time it refreshes the
page, bookshare's site thinks I've already downloaded the book and thus I
get an error.

Can anyone tell me how to fix this?  I'm fairly computer literate and I've
tried several things including:
changing the custom security settings in the internet options; security;
internet zone
i've tried the same with the trusted sites zone (which I've added bookshare
too)

Thanks,
Laura
