I received this in my inbox from the Accessible Devices guys. I believe it
should solve your problem.

If you've upgraded to IE9 this will be helpful.
**this came from the BARD list..
Hello List Members,
Those of you who have started using Internet Explorer 9 have probably
noticed that
downloading doesn't work the same way as it does with earlier versions
of IE. The
process can make you think nothing is happening, which can be confusing
and frustrating.
Fortunately, however, it's easy to download with IE9 once you understand
the changes.

When you download a book with Internet Explorer 9, the prompt to
download or save
appears in a toolbar called the Information bar. You can respond to this
prompt in
one of two ways. One is to press Alt-N, which brings focus to the
Information bar
where you can choose whether to open or save the file.
The other is to press Alt-S, which bypasses the Information bar and
chooses to save
the file.

Once you press Alt-N and choose to save, or press Alt-S, the file begins
to download.
To see the progress of the download, press Control-J to open the View
Downloads dialog
box. Within this dialog box is an Options button that takes you to a
dialog where
you can choose whether to be notified when downloads are complete.

If you realize that you made a mistake and you don't want to download
this book,
press Alt-N to go back to the Information bard. Focus will move to the
Cancel button,
so press Enter to cancel the download.

By default, Internet Explorer 9 saves to a folder called Downloads in
your User folder.
If you want to change this location, do the following
1. Press Enter on the link to download a book.
2. Press Alt-N to bring focus to the Information bar.
3. Press Tab to the Save split button.
4. Press Down Arrow until you reach Save As.
5. Press Enter.

You are now in a standard Save As dialog box where you can change the
file name and
download location if you like.

We hope this information will help you download the books you want using
Internet
Explorer 9. Happy reading.

Subject: [nabs-l] nls bard

Hi all,
I’m trying to figure out how to download books from  NLS bard.
I do not get the dialogue box I used to when using internet explorer 8. I
assume I have to right click or use the context menu to save the zipped
file.
When I go to the notification bar, I hear open only. But I want to save it,
right?

After I save it, how do I get the files onto my usb drive to play in either
the vr stratus or nls digital player?
I  think I open the zipped file to unzip them, but then what?

Thanks.

Ashley
