I have the latest Firefox Browser (3.0.10) and everything.
I'm on my Administrator Account on Windows Vista Home Premium SP1.
All this happened after I restarted my laptop.
And for some reason after that, when ever I download something it wont show up as .exe.

My Hp G60-121WM Notebook Specs:
AMD Sepron SI-40 2.00GHz
NVIDIA GeForce 8200M
160GB (5400rpm) Hard Drive

____________________________________________

(I took screen-shots of all the steps)


I did Tools>Options>Save Files to "Desktop"
http://i44.tinypic.com/kaihhk.jpg

Then downloaded a random file ( Uninstall Bitdeffender 2009 )
http://i39.tinypic.com/awxfe9.jpg

Firefox Download Manager said "Download Complete"
http://i39.tinypic.com/2nqwpvr.jpg

Went to my Desktop and opened the file when it shows:
"Windows cannot open this file: BitDefender_Uninstall.exe.part"

Not only does this happen with this download but with ANY file I download, I've heard about downloading the latest Firefox Browser which I tried to do, But again, the download won't open.

Well, from the screen shots, it seems as if your downloads don't seem to be finished, and you're attempting to open them before they're completed hence the ".part" after the file name. If you're sure the file is finished, try renaming the file to just "whatevertheprogramis.exe" (minus the quotes) taking off the ".part". Hope that helps.

You could try re-downloading the Firefox installer using Internet Explorer

Nope, worse.
Now they won't even show up!
When ever I download ANYTHING it just doesn't show up to the designated download folder set from Mozilla Download Manager.

First I open my Firefox Browser and do the following
Tools>Options> Save files to: "Downloads"
http://i43.tinypic.com/30jmhih.jpg

Then I download a random file (Gimp Photo Editor)
http://i39.tinypic.com/20r2xrp.jpg

When the download says its finished, I then go to "Downloads"
http://i40.tinypic.com/16jinsx.jpg

Open the "Downloads" Folder, And no Gimp file whatsoever (folder empty)

Okay okay, so I then restart my laptop.

So maybe somethings wrong with the "Downloads" folder.
I'll just go with saving my download to my "Desktop" instead.
Much easier right?
Wrong. Same sh*t.

Again here we go:
Tools>Options> Save files to: "Desktop"
http://i40.tinypic.com/1qpkl4.jpg

Thinking, "Hmm maybe its the file I'm trying to download thats the problem"
Again wrong, any and I mean ANY download will not show up.

I try again to download the most random file I picked from cnet.com
All to my "Desktop" where I set it to be.

Download Complete:

Go to my Desktop, BAM! absolutely nada again.

Many people tell me it has to do with a corrupt registry or something.
Others say it's a Virus or Spyware, Malware etc. Full AVG and Avast and Bitdeffender scan, And nothing found.


So again,
If you can help, know someone that may help, or have any links that can give me the solution. Please help
