Hi there,

I use Mozilla Fire Fox or Microsoft Internet Explorer when I'm on the net.
Both of these applications do exactly the same thing when I want to download, so it must be a setting I have wrong on my laptop, I just don't know what to change.

Basically, when I try to download an MP3 from any internet site, the browser just open a new window and plays the file through Quicktime. I don't want it to do this, I just want to be able to download them to my laptop.
I know it is just a settings problem because I went round to my mates house to see if it did the same there, but the files downloaded straight to his computer.

If anyone knows what the problem is, I would apreciate ANY help, it's SO annoying!!


Thanks a lot,

Will

have you tried to "RIGHT CLICK" and "SAVE AS" option?

Yeah, that doesn't work. It says I need Quicktime Pro to do that, which aint gonna happen cos I aint interested in getting that.
The thing is, I know that I can download these without having to right click or anything, it's just a setting on either the browsers or (more likely) Quicktime that needs to be changed.. I just don't know what or how to do it...

Open quicktime and go to edit > preferences > quicktime preferences > file type associations > file types. You will see a list of all the files associated with quicktime. Deselect any file type you do not wish quicktime to handle.

Yeah, I did that and I still have the same problem...

Have you got quicktime set up like this?

I deleted every filetype association, I've now even deleted the program and whenever I want to download, it still asks me to install quicktime. This occurs on both Firefox AND MS Internet Explorer.

If you open windows explorer and go to tools > folder options > file types and scroll down to the MP3 extention and highlight it, what is it set to open with?
