When downloading a file from an email now, for some reason, the download box has no information in it and and there is no download green progress line. Whats more, although the cancel button at the bottom of the box is highlighted, it will not cancel. The X at the top of the box on the right hand side also does not function. When i switch to Mozilla and download a file all is normal. Any help appreciated. Lee
