I recently removed, "Speedbits - Download Accelerator Plus" and now i have no idea how to get Windows to be my default downloader again. As of right now, when i try to download something, it does nothing. Theres no dialog box asking me where i want to save the file to or anythng for that matter. Someone please help me

I have been to both the sites posted here, but to no avail. I even went to Microsoft, but nothing has turned up yet. My internet options are set to default also. I have read a few posts in this forum about IE being in the add/remove programs menu. I have no such thing on my pc. It seems that even though i'm using IE, it is not in my system as a registered program, which may be the reason it is not in the add/remove program menu. What should i do now and is it windows thats acting up or IE?

download, install, and run the above...seems I recall DAP installs something in the winsock chain...normally, it removes with uninstall, but perhaps it is stuck

I wish i could download PERIOD. When i click on a download link, nothing happens at all. Most web pages automatically initialize the download saying, "initializing download or download starting automatically, click here if download doesnt start." I do everything i'm needed to do to download, but nothing happens all. I dont get an error message or a dialog box. Thanks

use a different pc, copy to floppy or cd

Is there another way of trying to fix this prob? I dont have access to any other Pc but this one. Do you think there is an internal way of taking care of this besides system recovery? I had to clear my rollback points and disable it altogether because of trojan removal processes. I guess in the process, my default download agent was removed (ADWARE) and windows never regained control of the downloads. Kazaa was also removed too with a number of other adware and spyware filled programs but they wer not removed the conventional way. i didnt go to Contol panel/add/remove software and remove them myself, they were removed by one of the numerous anti spyware/trojan/virus programs that i have on this comp. Is it possible that although the D.A.P software has been removed, it still controls the downloads?

Heres a somewhat less technical solution... have someonedburn u a cd/dvd with such files asyou need an maybe more, then use that once they mail it to youl.. or you couldbuy offof ebay such a solution.... ifu want i mihgt consider doingthat once i get my own desktop up an runnin again, of cours that solution requires trusitngus with your address



Peace be with all of You

There is no refrence to pbblocker in my add-ons. I did notice that if i want to do an online virus/spyware/maliware scan, i can. i think most online virus scans download the needed components to run an online scan to my hdd. That works fine and dandy but It seems that when i try to download things myself, nothing happens.

later on that day........


Problem resolved (for now).


I figured out a way to get my downloads again. I went to the "Search" in the start menu and looked for DAP. When i found a file from that software, i went to the folder it was housed in and found the uninstaller for DAP. On a chance, i used the uninstaller and now i can download again with the default windows downloader. I guess when DAP was removed by my Antivirus program, it didnt remove all the main files, just some. Luckily it worked. I hope nobody else gets in this kind of trouble.
