problem with exe and zip downloads

Hi all,

Since the latest Opera update on Vista x64 I'm having trouble downloading exe and zip files, other file types work fine. Clicking these types of links doesn't display the "save as" dialog anymore, and the download doesn't show up in the "downloads" panel. I can tell from the network monitor that the file does get downloaded, but it seem to just download in the current window, which then display a blank screen.

Has anyone else seen this? I'm not sure this is related to any Opera update , since these days so many things get updated on my machine every day that it''s hard to keep track of what happened when.

cheers,
Edwin.

Check the Content-Type header in the response to see what the mime type is. Then, goto "ctrl + F12 -> advanced -> downloads" and edit that type and make sure it's setup how you like ("show download dialog" for example).

Excellent, thanks for that. It turned out to be "Mega Manager Click Catcher" plugin which decided to attach itself to exe and zip files . deleting
npmmaud.dll
npmmprog.dll
npmmvid.dll
npmmzip.dll
