That noise should be the information bar. Pressing alt+n from within internet explorer should activate this bar and thus the menu of choices it wishes you to see. To disable this for the download dialog, got to internetoptions->securitytab->custom ... button. under the setting which says "automatically prompt for file download opened" select enable. In fact, if there are any other settings which say automatically prompt set them to enable. Be aware I am specifically talking about the settings in the security dialog which say "automatically prompt" not the settings where you have a choice of prompt, enable, or disable only. Also make sure allow file download is set to enable. After these changes, select the ok button, select the yes button on the warning dialog about changing your security settings, select apply and select ok. From now on, you should get the normal dialog for file download.

Whenever I try and run some downloads such as IE 7 from the Windows Vista site, or drivers from my manufacturers web site, I get a high and low pitched bleep and nothing downloads.
I've tried reducing all the security and privacy settings in Internet Options.Any ideas please. For some reason the IE 7 download isn't in Windows Update like it was before even though I've showed all my hidden updates.
Again, appologies for asking this question on this list, but I think it is relevant and might help someone else.
Peter
