Im having an issue downloading stuff... it doesnt tell me where it saves?

Question

ive always downloaded games and family pictures and whatnot and never had a problem. the past week i tried to download a game, and it will have a SAVE button to save the download after its finished, but it wont let me pick where i want to save it. It says you have chosen to download "whatever it is" and only two options, SAVE and CANCEL.. so i pressed save, and the file was no where to be found on my computer, i searched everywhere... i tried another game today, and a picture.. and its doing the same thing.

i dont know why! anyyyy help would be greatly appreciated.. i hope someone can find a solution to this because its really annoying me

Answer 1

Generally, it sounds as if you have a default location for downloads set in your browser, and it sounds as if you have it set to clear the downloads queue after downloads have completed.  You can either change these settings in your browser, or do the following:

1.  Click on a link to download something.

2.  Before hitting the "Save" button, note the name of the file you are saving.

3.  Click Save.

4.  After saving, do a search on your computer for the file name, looking in all hard drive partitions.

This should provide you with the location of where the file was saved, and then you know where your default downloads folder is.

Good luck!

Answer 2

I'm not sure what you can possibly do since you have already tried to Search for the download.

Have you tried looking in your Programs folder for that Game?

How about looking in your Pictures folder for your pictures (you know the default picture folder)
