"your current security settings do not allow this file to be downloaded"

I'm running XP. I can download music but try to download IE7 (for example) when I get this message. I think I'm alright as far as Administrator. Just 2 of us use this PC, don't use passwords.

You need to provide more details.  Are you running Windows XP?  If so, are you logged on to an account with Administrator privileges?  From where are you trying to download the file?

In internet explorer

click on tools
click on internet options
click on security
click on custom level
scroll down till you get to downloads in the security section
click and enable automatic prompting for downloads
click and enable file download

Or just dont download IE7 as i believe its a bit pants??

I followed the steps under the TOOLS tab, still can not download.

open Contol Panel and select the User Accounts ...

 

Look at the screen it should list all the users on the system and their securtiy level make sure it say adminstrator.....if not select yourself and change it to  adminstrator..

Hi Jr58,

 

When you enabled automatic prompting of downloads enabled, in the same section make sure the File download is enabled too.

 

click on tools
click on Internet options
click on Security
click on Custom level
scroll down till you get to Download in the security section
click and enable Automatic prompting for downloads
click and enable File download.

Keep updating.

 

Cheers,
