I have been getting "empty" downloads of compressed files when I try to download to my iMac (Intel Core 2 Duo) running OS X 10.4.11.
The "Downloads" window will show the download process very briefly, then go completely blank. When I try to open the download, it doesn't work--there's nothing there.
This happens with compressed attachments sent to me via e-mail as well:
I get a blank icon on the Desktop, where my downloads are sent.
If I double-click on the blank icon it will produce a new, separate "CPGZ" icon, but if I double-click THAT, nothing opens and it creates another "CPGZ" icon, etc. etc. to infinity.
When I right click any icon of a download and go to "Open With" it shows the default is "BOMArchiveHelper" which is no help at all.
(I'm also having trouble getting web pages to print directly-- I have to save to a PDF or TIFF or JPEG and print from that. Perhaps this is related?)
