[ILL-L] Problem allowing file download in IE7

[Keith Palmateer]

Talk to your IT people.  These tabs are one of many things can be removed or
controlled using the Administrator functions in the control panel.  Most
likely, someone made a decision about downloads on that computer.  Look on
some of the other machines in your area and see.

Subject: [ILL-L] Problem allowing file download in IE7

 

Hello ILLers,

 

I have read OCLC's troubleshooting sheet on allowing the batch print files
to download, but I seem to have a weird version of IE7 that HAS NO SECURITY
SETTINGS TAB. I have looked and looked and cannot find any settings that
will let me allow file downloads from specific sites. When I go to Tools -
Options, there is no Security tab. There is a Privacy tab, but there's no
mention of allowing file downloads, only blocking popup windows. I've added
<*.oclc.org> to the sites that it should allow cookies from and to my Pop-up
Blocker Exceptions list, but this seems to make no difference to the way
batch printing functions - which is "tedious and aggravating."  I have to
mark Pending requests for printing, then Return and Clear and mark the (same
requests but now) In Process for printing, click on my Pop-up blocker bar to
allow the file download, tell it to open the file, and THEN give the print
command. Old news to most, I'm sure, but when I called my regional support
person she hadn't heard about any versions of IE7 that don't have the
Security tab with the File Download settings. 

 

Has anyone else experienced this problem? Any words of wisdom? Our campus IT
dept. doesn't like IE and wants me to use Firefox, but it's troublesome to
print the correct text size with Firefox. They also don't want me to try to
revert to IE6 and they say the campus servers will just re-update me to IE7.

 

Thanks for any help!
