When i click to download a file i get the usual options. If i click 'save' or 'save as' then i can download the file. But when i click 'open', nothing happens!

Something is corrupt for sure, where are the files being saved to? A non default location?

Can you open anything? i.e. if you right click on a folder for example does Open work?

Just want to rule out this being a context menu being corrupted. If it is corrupted please see:

i can click save as and direct to where i want to save, but ifi click the 'open file' option, the icon closes, but nothing opens.

If i right click a folder, yes i can open it.

What's the file?

Some sort of program association broken?

any file, pdf, doc, anything from a downloadable source will not let me open.

Opening from "localhost" - Why is it saying localhost? Where are you saving it to in the save dialogue before downloading?

nah! That was just an example of the option i get when i click a downloadable file - that isn't from my actual pc.

Using the example, if i click 'save' i can save. If i click 'open' the popup goes, but nothing opens.

Make sense? Wanna skype me?
