Downloaded file dissapearance

I have downloaded files lately like "zonealarm" free and it seems to be downloading and gets to the end 97% 98% 99% poof gone . No satisfaction .I run windows XP home , and I have zonealarm free as a firewall .

 

Have you checked C:\Download folder?

Bad out.

 

OOPS, I may have made that folder myself.
Yes generally default is Desktop.
Check target as Tim say's.

 

depends if he uses a download manager, many of them do create folderC:\Downloads as a default. ie. Free download manager

 

No Download manager , they are set to go to desktop.

 

This may be a pretty stupid answer.

But, I have seen this in the past, and this seemed to work.

Perhaps the files in question have been dowloaded, but fore some retarded reason they are off the screen.

Can you right click on the desktop and select, Sort by, name or date modified?

Other than that, follow, TimW's suggestion.

I do wonder if the following also may work.

Can you clear out your temp files, by deleting anything within:

Click START, then RUN, then type in ---> %temp%

Delete all files here, then try to re-download the program.
