...or how I ended up here.

The Unreality Of It All

Monday, 28. August 2006, 19:55:11

Funny, all I was trying to do is get to the Opera Support desk (and now I am in the community, which is kind of nice)to find out why,when I dload Zone Alarm updates and other programs, as well, I sometimes get a page that has a mess o'symbols on it with the cautionary direction, as if I didn't know this, that the program does not run in DOS mode.:eyes: I am clearly not in DOS mode so this is a disconcerting situation.

Unbeknownst to me, somewhere down the line, I must have stepped through a black hole into Update Hell because, for you script kids and malcontents out there:ninja: , I cannot update my firewall.

Does anyone know what is going on? Is it a matter of a browser setting somewhere? It doesn't do this in IE or Firefox, both of which I dont' care to use as I really enjoy Opera.

Can anyone offer a solution?

Sounds like opera is opening the dowload file as a page insted of downloading as a file.
Try right clicking on the link for the file and use "save target as" to download your updates.
hope this helps.

Thank you very much. I appreciate all the help I can get. Kind of new to constructing these pages, too. I don't know how to add things yet. I will get it eventually. I do have a webpage template I would like to use but am still rather new to HTML. I found out from your Superhero Test that I am Spiderman. That explains all the cobwebs in my head, and I must be doing this superhero work in my sleep as I do frequently wake up with bruises and wallets that don't belong to me...
