:??: I used to be able to grab a video clip form the internet and save it to my computor. Now when I grab a video with a wmv extension and do a "save target as" it only saves it as a htm file and does not grab the video itself. Any ideas would be helpful.

What Browser are you using?

For functionality, I would recommend downloading the latest version of firefox, as there are many useful extensions and add-ons that can be downloaded for it at

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/browse/type:1

If you are trying to download movies from any of these sites:

Youtube, Google Video, iFilm, Metacafe, Dailymotion, Myspace, Angry Alien, AnimeEpisodes.Net, Badjojo, Blastro, Blennus, Blip.tv, Bofunk, Bolt, Break.com, Castpost, CollegeHumor, Current TV, Dachix, Danerd, DailySixer.com, DevilDucky, Double Agent, eVideoShare, EVTV1, FindVideos, Free Video Blog, Grinvi, Grouper, Hiphopdeal, Kontraband, Lulu TV, Midis.biz, Music.com, MusicVideoCodes.info, MySpace Video Code, Newgrounds, NothingToxic, PcPlanets, Pixparty, PlsThx, Putfile, Revver, Sharkle, SmitHappens, StreetFire, That Video Site, TotallyCrap, VideoCodes4U, VideoCodesWorld, VideoCodeZone, vidiLife, Vimeo, vSocial, Yikers, ZippyVideos... and any other webpage with embedded objects.

The extension "Video Downloader" found at

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/2390

works really well.

Sorry for not being able to explain why you are getting a page cache, rather than the actual target, but it is worth a try...
