I'm missing a Vista download! I tried to download Vista X64 from my X86
install and it said it was in the documents folder. It wasn't. I did a search
for it and it is nowhere to be found. What is going on with this?

looks like a bug. I tried the same thing, using the download manager. the
file actually downloads to the correct place, but does not show up. I
downloaded the ISO to the desktop, and when it didn't show up, I tried again.
The file showed up in the dialog box where it lets you select where to save
it. I tried copying it from the dialog box, but it told me the file didn't
exist. I tried right-clicking on it, and selecting "properties". It showed
the correct file size, but the file attributes were listed as "AN". the "A"
stands for archive, but I don't know what the "N" stands for. any ideas? It
didn't even show up when I booted into XP, but I know it was there. I ended
up deleting the file, to free up disk space.
