IE blocking files

[Gautama2]

I'm trying to connect my skycaddy to the website and what not, and during the connect it tries to download files, I get a small tab thing on the bottom saying IE is blocking these files, click here for more options. Clicking does nothing. How can I get around this? The program I must use for the skycaddy uses IE as its background browser.

Sounds like a popup blocker and/or firewall issue.

I disabled both.

Did you get it to work ?

If not please follow the steps below to get it to work properly
(info from skycaddy site thru John's link above)

To allow your SkyCaddie to work properly with Windows Firewall:

1. Click "Start" located in the lower left-hand corner of your Windows desktop.
2. Select "Control Panel."
3. Select "Windows Firewall"
4. Select the "Exceptions" tab.
5. Click on the "Add Program" button.
6. Select the blocked SkyCaddie program. (SkyCaddie Desktop.exe.)
7. Click the "OK" button.
8. Close all windows.
9. Restart your windows.

No, it is not working. Windows firewall is disabled and Zone Alarm firewall is set to allow, it also will not work if I disable Zone Alarm as well.

You say Zone Alarm is set to Allow
Did you add the real program ID (SkyCaddie Desktop.exe)
to the Allowed List ? ?

What happens if you try another Web Browser such as
Firefox or Opera to see if it will download properly ? ?

Yes I did.


It will only download through the included Skycaddy software.
