Sidki webpage filter blocks downloads

[Mele20]

Thanks! That is the filter causing the problem. Yours works but I want the information bar to appear anywhere I would use IE to download (not just files but ActiveX controls)and not just at Microsoft download site. Without it appearing, IE gets rather crippled and disabling the information bar doesn't work well either. So, I just unchecked that filter in Proxo. I don't use IE often but when I do, I want it to work properly.

What exactly (besides causing this problem in IE) does that filter do? Sorry, I am so ignorant about many of the filters. I always wanted to see some help file that would explain each one (well, some are easy for me to understand just looking at the name), but I don't know what "remove post HTML block" really means...see how dumb I am?

Before I unchecked that filter, I tried putting microsoft download site in the trusted zone but all that did was open a new window for IE! IE is unable to properly use tabbed browsing because of the zones (at least on Vista)! I got a message saying that because the tabs I had open already were in the internet zone, and the new tab was in the trusted zone, that IE had to open a new window. But even with the site in the trusted zone, I did not get the download box with Sidki's filter checked. So, putting sites that want to download ActiveX controls, files,etc. in the trusted zone is not a workaround.
