Fixed Pants™ Posted April 21, 2007 Report Share Posted April 21, 2007 I used to have that when the file is complete just go to your received files and open it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Si-man Posted April 21, 2007 Report Share Posted April 21, 2007 Dont open it from the msn window.Open it from where it is saved on the computer (i chose desktop) and it will work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocks370 Posted April 21, 2007 Report Share Posted April 21, 2007 the person sending the file needs to do this:right click on the file - go to properties - and where it says "secuirty" click unblock. (before they send it)then send it agin.Pic: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomm Posted April 22, 2007 Report Share Posted April 22, 2007 Dont open it from the msn window.Open it from where it is saved on the computer (i chose desktop) and it will work.Yeah, do this. MSN doesn't like you illegally sharing files so it deletes them if you click the 'open file' link within the MSN window. However, if you go to where it's saved and kinda bypass MSN, it's fine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krisboats Posted April 22, 2007 Report Share Posted April 22, 2007 Or click the alternate option, it has like accept and save, whichever one your using, use the other.... worked for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fixed Pants™ Posted April 22, 2007 Report Share Posted April 22, 2007 (edited) I get illegally sent music all the time, it doesn't do it to me, Tomm?Get a better firewall (zonealarm) and disable windows firewall, it's wank. Also, get some anti virus, like, nod32 or avg.(can't see any firewall/antivirus in your tray) Edited April 22, 2007 by Fat Pants Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BONGO Posted April 22, 2007 Report Share Posted April 22, 2007 in the past it has happened to me and i've had to find the file wherever it is. (search function on pc) then right click it and click unblock. Then it's a useable file. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScotchDave Posted April 22, 2007 Report Share Posted April 22, 2007 Right, to get rid of this once and for all: go to the "status, display and options" part (click on your script name), then go to options, file transfer, install. This will install a microsoft virus checker thingy, won't stop you receiving illegal stuff either, though of course I was only told that...
