I want to stop it completely so I can download freely each time. My popup blocker is off, so what could be suddenly causing it? ----- Original Message ----- From: "Debbie Scales" <debbie@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Tuesday, June 27, 2006 11:03 AM Subject: Re: IE not downloading That's not true. All you have to do is press alt N to access the information bar in service pace 2. Then press the space bar and you can arrow down to the options on the context menu such as download file.

It has to do with the pop-up blocking feature, which on those systems is enabled by default. Unfortunately, other than using the JAWS cursor to manipulate it, your only option is to turn it off.
