norm, it might just be that "The requested site is either unavailable or
cannot be found" g

Is the site where you are trying to download files from the ONLY site where
you have this problem or are you having problems on ALL sites? Could you
please share the url of the offending site so that we might be able to check
for ourselves.

Try the following url - which has just worked for me - it is a 'zipped' file
for the Nokia Test Pattern Generator (monitor/screen Test Card) utility. You
don't have to install it (although its a very handy utility) if you don't
want to. Just see if it will attempt to download and save. Tell us how far
you get with the (download) exercise and at what point it fails.

If you want to know more about the utility, see :-

NB - I have no connection with Nokia

Good luck

I am looking for help on this one. When trying to download files I keep
getting the message Internet Explorer was not able to open this site. The
requested site is either unavailable or cannot be found. My version of IE
is 6.0. I have not had this problem until recently. I have reloaded IE
6.0
to no avail. Short of reloading the operating system I have tried
everything
that I know of to correct this problem without any luck. Any suggestions
would be more than welcomed.
Thanks,
Norm
