SYMPTOMS

Consider the following scenario. You try to download a certificate (.cer) file in Windows Internet Explorer 7 on a computer that is running Microsoft Windows Server 2003. In this scenario, the Open button does not appear in the File Download - Security Warning dialog box. Instead, the Find button appears.

Notes

If you save the certificate file to disk and then open the file, the file opens successfully.
This problem does not occur in Microsoft Internet Explorer 6. This problem also does not occur on computers that are running Windows XP, even if you use Internet Explorer 7.

WORKAROUND

To work around this problem, create a new file association for the certificate file as the original certificate file association, and then open the certificate file. After you create the new file association, the Open button appears in the File Download - Security Warning dialog box.

APPLIES TO

Windows Internet Explorer 7 for Windows Server 2003

Community Feedback System

Very often, it takes hours to solve a problem. Very often, you've looked high and low, and have tried a lot of solutions. When you finally found it, chances are, it was because someone else helped you. Here's your chance to give back. Use our community feedback tool to let others know what worked for you and what didn't.

Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each other. If something in a feedback response doesn't make sense to you, or you're not comfortable making changes that the feedback talks about (like registry edits), please consult a professional.
