Hi Alan,

Windows is installed on the c drive, I also have the d drive, memory stick e drive and dvd- drive f.

I am now going to try Firefox for the download and see what options it gives me.

Someone seems to have some sense.

I just re-read your original post. At first I thought your friend had played around with drive assignations but I think he just changed the path to where your downloads go. Frankly I do not think this is a problem. If for example you download Yahoo messenger and it goes to your D partition, when it completes just (double) click on the ysmgr_9_us.exe (or whatever it is called lately). When it is installing it should install in your C partition.

I also have a 350GB external drive but I still like to have my partitions. If for any reason your C drive/Windows installation goes awry you can re-install Windows (or Ghost back if you use it) and all your downloads are still sitting pretty and unaffected on your D partition.

Yeah Alan,

I think the problem is with internet explorer. When I changed to Firefox it downloaded stright away. So thanks for the help.

I love the boobs by the way, please, please, tell me they are not attached to your body.
