📎 AI Summary:
The WindowsForum thread discusses a user's issue with saving and locating files downloaded via IE8 on a Windows PC, despite downloads working fine in Chrome. The user asks for troubleshooting advice; suggestions include resetting Internet Explorer settings, which was tried without success. Further help prompts the user to check if the "Open Folder" button during downloads correctly opens the save location, but the core issue of files being invisible or unfindable remains unresolved.

I purchased a computer "open box" at a retail store. Everything seems to be working OK, but whenever I save or download a file using IE8 I can't find it!. It doesn't matter where I save in the save as window the file cannot be found even by the search. BTW if I use the Chrome browser everything seems to be OK.

Any thoughts on what I need the do?

Thanks

Hello and Welcome to W7F !

Open your IE go to Tools | Internet Options | Advance tab | Click on Reset then try it. Maybe some Toolbar or add-on might be messing up.

What happens when, after the download concludes, you select the "Open Folder" button in the download progress dialog box. Does it attempt to open the folder that you saved the download to, or do you get an error.
