I'm unable to download files in Flock
I am using Flock 2.0.3 on windows vista and have recently encountered a problem when downloading files. The file download box appears, I click save, it disappears, then nothing happens and the file doesn't download. I have tried a windows system restore, but this has made no difference, I have tried disabling all my extensions, this made no difference and I have tried downloading with flock in safe mode, again no difference. the error message in the error console reads:
Error: [Exception... "Component returned failure code: 0x80004005 (NS_ERROR_FAILURE) [nsIHelperAppLauncher.saveToDisk]" nsresult: "0x80004005 (NS_ERROR_FAILURE)" location: "JS frame :: file:///C:/PROGRA~1/FLOCK/components/nsHelperAppDlg.js :: anonymous :: line 466" data: no]
Source File: file:///C:/PROGRA~1/FLOCK/components/nsHelperAppDlg.js
Line: 466
Hopefully this may mean something to one of you genius's and you will be able to give me some wisdom.
Many thanks in anticipation
Neil

Inappropriate?Hi Neil,
Try going to Tools / Options and on the Main tab choose a different location to save your downloaded files to.
Does that help?
Also -- are you running under an Administrator account in Vista?
--Chris
The company says
this solves the problem

Inappropriate?Hi Chris,
Thanks again, that seems to have worked. So simple, but I'm not sure why it worked!! Having changed the location I couldn't check where the original downloads were trying to go to & if it was corrupted or something.
Many blessings
Neil
I’m happy & thankful
