problems downloading with Internet Protected mode turned off

[Evan Popchock]

Hey,  I am here to address a problem downloading stuff off of simviation with internet protected mode turned off, which has been working before until now, when I tried to download two things off of here tonight.  For some reason, two files I downloaded corrupted during the download, and when I tried to redownload them, I couldn't get anything but a blank screen.  Please help.

Turn it back on? ..... 

Also what do you mean by Internet Protected mode?

What files are you trying to download?

What I mean is when I double click on the bottom of the screen where it says "Internet  Protected Mode On," a new window opens, in which I have to uncheck "Enable Protected Mode" and then click Apply, so I can download things off this site.  That's the reason why I couldn't get anything off of here at all when I had my first download problem on Simviation's website, because a security feature needed temporarily disabled.  Now I'm unable to download anything even with this security mode I just mentioned above turned off.  I don't know what to do next and any advice would be appreciated. :-/

I have not heard of this thing before (I rarely use IE - but firing up IE I can see it at the bottom  of the browser window.)

If it worked in the past maybe you can try emptying cache and clearing temp internet files in IE. (& reboot)

If that doesn't fix it, I suggest trying a different browser - if you use Internet Explorer try Firefox.

I'll try that.  Any suggestions if that doesn't work either? :-/
