    Internet Explorer cannot open my downloaded file


    Recently, I downloaded a file from the internet. The file appears on the "View Downloads" pop-up, but whenever I click open, a new window appears for a split second before immediately closing without any explanation. Additionally, when I check the "download location" on my computer, the file is not there. To wrap things up, I am not able to open my files.Before and AfterInternet Explorer cannot open my downloaded file :During:* Moved from IE10/Win 7

    [IE6] Internet Explorer Cannot Download / [SITE]

    Hi guys,

    I'm having a problem with my Internet Explorer 6.

    In any website I try to access, I get this

    Internet Explorer cannot download / SITE
    Internet Explorere was not able to open this internet site.

    There's a downloading file right behind it. I'm just trying to access a site, but it shows that. Why is it? Is there a way to cure this error?

    Welcome to Microsoft Community.

    1. Right click on the .jar file, select Open with
    and click on Choose another app.
