I had a similar experience with IE when trying to download QL software updates from Jochen's website. As you suggest, lowering the security level and IIRC enabling cookies allowed the process to work (it was Bruce who suggested that to me at the time)

It doesn't do much for people's confidence in internet security when a system is seemingly so secure that the only way to make it work is to make it less secure. I know that anyone who knows about the internal workings of these things will tell you it's just a simple case of this and that, but users don't always know that. And as with this system, I'm pretty sure it wasn't any fault of Jochen's site, althouth the site did want to place a cookie on my computer that IE was blocking because I had opted for strict security settings at the time.

Well, it's not my site anyway - the update site is hosted on Bruce's server :-)

You will see that updates.j-m-s.com forwards immediately to blocktoris.com/jms/

Thanks to Bruce for his help and support!

Jochen
