Downloads sometimes fail to complete in window 7.

Firefox fails to complete many downloads generating a permission error at the end of the download. It creates two files: ? and ?.part. Firefox downloads to the ?.part file but at the end of the download it fails claiming I don't have permission to the directory. My permissions are fine but the files Firefox created are locked.

If it works in the XP mode, but not 7, the previous post pretty well establishes the Windows 7 OS as the culprit. It is obviously using all of the same hardware in each "mode." I
have a Dual-Core HP laptop with 4GB of RAM, running 7 Pro that consistently dies at 90% of a download. (with various files)
It doesn't generate any errors - it just stops incrementing. The same files downloads just fine on our XP PCs.
I have tried all of the proposed solutions without any beneficial results.
This seems to be a pretty common problem with Windows 7. The web has a lot of posts about this problem. (This happens with wired and wireless connections.)
WHEN is Microsoft going to fix this problem?

  • Pse12 sometimes fails to close completely leaving exe file running in background

    pse12 sometimes fails to close completely leaving exe file running in background which must be closed with Task Manager before reopening in Windows 8.1.

    Try to use "Firefox/File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit") to close Firefox if you are currently doing that by clicking the close X on the title bar.

  • Officejet 8500 & Windows 7 - Printer setup fails to complete.

    Printer: HP Officejet Pro 8500 All-in-One (A909)
    OS: Windows 7 Enterprise (64-bit)
    Driver: HP Officejet Pro 8500 All-in-One (A909) v13.0.0.0
    Driver Filename: OJP8500vA909_Full_13.exe
    Wireless Network: DHCP Static IP assigned via MAC
    Security: WPA with allowed MAC list
    Problem: Detects Printer, but won't install.
    Screen Shots: 4 screen shots shown below.
    Note: Can add and use the printer with the default Windows 7 driver using the built in Windows 7 wizard.
    Unacceptable Solutions: Using the built in Windows 7 driver and wizard or calling HP support, they were worthless on the phone.
    Requested Solution: Install the supplied HP driver using their wizard?
    Trouble Shooting Attempted: As per the Additional Information on the download page.  These steps failed.
    If you encountered "Printer setup has failed to complete" error prompt, please do the following:
    Click "Next" to proceed with the software installation
    An "add a device" icon will be displayed on the desktop
    Go to MS Windows 7\Control Panel\Hardware and Sound\Devices and Printers folder
    Right click on the printer icon and click on "Remove device"

    Select "Remove driver and driver package"
    Go to the desktop and click on the "add a device" shortcut to complete the software installation
    Note: I would've put this in the Windows 7 & Printer forum, but I can't post there....
    1. Launch the 'Add a Device - Officejet Pro 8500 A909 Series' shortcut.
    2. Finds the printer just fine and then tests the network activity without a hitch.
    3. Printer is correctly detected.
    4. But wait!  We error out right after detecting the printer.  /boo / hiss

    2.  An "add a device" icon will be displayed on the desktop.

  • Java_es_05q1-windows-x86 install fails 1628: Failed to complete installation on windows xp pro sp2

    Hi All,
    I'm trying to install Java ES 2005Q1 on my windows xp pro sp2 notebook, but it always breaks with this error message: 1628: Failed to complete installation
    I realized that the SUNJavaES.log always ends at line 151 which is 131077 characters long.
    These are the last few characters of this line: ..." AD_MANUAL_ES_CONSOLE_HELP=D:\Sun\JES2005Q1\Server-Root\manua l\es\console\help\ AD_MANUAL_FR_ADMIN=D:\Sun\JES2005Q1\Server-Root\manual\fr\ad min\ AD_MANUAL_FR_ADMIN_HELP=D:\Sun\JES2005Q1\Serve "
    I attached the last log file.
    This line always breaks at the 131077th char independently of the content of it. I tried to skip some components of JES to see what will occur. The current content of this line obviously was different, but it has broken at the same point.
    Thanks in advence for any help.

    This could be due to a known issue with length of installation path
    Can you try and install in a location with less than 8 characters ?
    eg: C:\JES05q1 or C:\Sun

  • Just upgraded my iPad to IOS5 and when the download was completed, a window said that there was an error and it could not restore.  Now I have a black screen with the Apple logo and the circle lines.  None of the buttons respond. Help, please!!

    Just upgraded my iPad to IOS5 and when the download was completed, a window said that there was an error and it could not restore.  Now I have a black screen with the Apple logo and the circle lines.  None of the buttons respond. Help, please!!

    Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. Maybe this will let the iPad reboot and then you may need to restore again but see if this helps to start the iPad first.

  • Unable to restart after a Security update failed to completely download.

    I was downloading a security update. It failed to completely download. When I tried to restart the computer, it will get up to the blue screen background of the user login page. It will not go any further. I tried using the >Shift< key to get it into a SAFE mode but nothing happens except the progress indicator revolves. Should it be revolving over 3 hours and still no progress is seen? Is there something else I can do? Is there Apple or 3rd party software that could perhaps fix it? Please help I don't want to start from the beginning and re-install everything.

    Hello and Welcome to Apple Discussions ...
    Try Disk Utility. You need your system restore disk.
    1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc that came with your computer, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
    2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.
    3. Click the First Aid tab.
    4. Click the disclosure triangle to the left of the hard drive icon to display the names of your hard disk volumes and partitions.
    5. Select your Mac OS X volume.
    6. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk.
    One reason that an update can't finish is that you didn't use Disk Utility to Repair Disk Permissions before you ran the udpate. Second possibility is not enough free disk space. If you haven't upgraded the hard disk in your iBook, it probably has a 60GB drive or less. Never allow your free drive space fall below 20% of the total drive. This information can be viewed in Disk Utility at the bottom of the page with MacintoshHD 10.4 selected in the panel on the left.

    Seems to be a content expiration issue, probably to keep the load down on the servers hosting the updates.  I've found that resetting your network settings does the trick, even if it is a little overkill.

    Hi. I am currently using an old Firefox browser on Windows XP. I have attempted to update to the latest version but it keeps failing - download extractions fail. The file shows as corrupt and will not download or install.

    Try to download Firefox here: http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html

    http://releases.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/3.6.6/win32/en-US/
    You can also try to disable the real-time file check in your anti-virus software during the download and installation of Firefox.
    Do not forget to re-enable once you're done.

  • "Load files into Photoshop layers" fails to complete CS6

    Hi all,
    Hoping someone can help with the folling problem with Photoshop & Bridge CS6
    When in Bridge, after selecting 6 images (CR2) using the command TOOLS>LOAD FILES INTO PHOTOSHOP LAYERS the first file will load into Photoshop, Photoshop will then generate a second blank layer and then read the second file. At this point the "script" will stop. I am left with a document with 2 layers. The top layer has my first image, the bottom layer is empty.
    At this point when I quit Photoshop I am prompted to save this open document which appears to be the only open document. I choose not to save this as a file. I then get a dialogue box prompting to save another open document. Photoshop has loaded the second file to place as a layer but as the "script" has aborted I am left with an open, but invisible file.
    When I first loaded CS6 on Snow Leopard, it would demonstrate this behaviour every time I attempted to run this command from Bridge.
    I did a clean install on a blank HDD of OSX Lion. Installed CS6. The command worked without fail for about a month.
    Then I would get the command aborting occasionally. Restarting Photoshop would let me continue for a few hours before this aborted script problem would happen again.
    Over the last week it has become more frequent, to a point where this workflow is unusable.
    A restart of Photoshop may fix the problem for the next batch of images, only to fail again soon after, or fail on the first attempt after a relaunch of Photoshop.
    A reboot of my computer will allow my to load one or two sets of files before again failing to complete the command.
    I have tried the following:
    In Photoshop preferences:
    disabling the "Use graphics Processor"
    Increasing or decreasing the amount of RAM available to Photoshop
    Changing the cache levels or changing the cache tile size
    changing the scratch disk
    Trashing the Photoshop preferences file (Photoshop Settings.psp)
    In Bridge
    Purging the cache
    Increasing or decreasing the cache size
    Resetting Bridge preferences (holding Command on launch) and deleting all cache files.
    In general system
    Quitting extra programs (Safari, Thunderbird, iTunes)
    Sometimes this will seem to then allow Photoshop to load a full set of images, only to abort again after a few sets.
    Rebooting the computer - again will work for a few images sets before again failing.
    Now the fact that it worked fine for several weeks without presenting a problem would indicate that it is not a bug.
    The fact that is slowly started happening then became more frequent would indicate something changing slowly over time - a larger cache folder perhaps, although purging known Bridge cache folders has not filed the problem.
    Really at the end of my tether here. Even considering downgrading to CS5 - but don't want to have to use the older Adobe Camera Raw.
    System is as follows:
    Mac Pro 2 x 2.66 Quad Core
    24GB RAM
    ATI Radeon HD 4870 512
    OSX Lion 10.7.4
    I have seen a couple of others have posted having a the same problem, both with CS5 and CS6.
    Hoping someone has an answer.
    Thanks.

    Hi JJMack - I just re-read your post. For some reason I thought you were suggesting to make sure "Open documents in Tabs" was selected, it was. Now I realize you were suggesting to turn it off! As another attemp to solve this problem I did de-select it today. Seemed to work for a good while. I was getting very excited, then, on the last set of images I had to do it displayed the same problem. But, it did go for quite a while without failing, and when it did I was thrashing about trying to make another app active. When loading documents like this - with "Open documents in Tabs" de-selected, Photoshop wants to put the loading images as the front-most window, no matter what other apps (Bridge, email, web etc) I click on in the dock. I think it is related to the bug you described effecting the "load files to stack" command.
    Hopefully Adobe is looking at this - mind you, I have read reports of people having this problem in CS5! Looks like that was never resolved sadly.
    I'll keep testing and post back.
    I am looking to upgrade my video card to see if it's a video memory thing.
    What is very weird though is the fact that this problem didn't present itself until after several weeks of working with this command with no problem. No additional apps installed, nothing changed. Why would it start happening only after a while?
    Thanks again for your suggestion.

  • Dell Latitude E6520 fails to boot after Windows Updates

    Hello, 
    I have a Dell Latitude E6520 that is not starting up after Windows updates. It installs updates and requests a reboot, after which it blue screens at the splash logo and reboots again. This goes on indefinitely. The only way to repair it is to boot from
    a recovery disk and run: 
    dism /image:D:\ /cleanup-image /revertpendingactions
    This is after running dism /image:D:\ /get-packages and noticing that several updates are still in an "Install_Pending" state. These are the kb's that are pending: 
    kb2982378
    kb2978742
    kb2977629
    kb2976897
    kb2973112
    kb2972211
    There were other updates, but those showed as installed. I would post the WindowsUpdate.Log, but I do not see a button to attach a file and the log is very long. Here is what I think is relevant towards the end of the log:
