Q: Why FreshDownload is not automatically activated and take over the download operation when I click a URL contains a file in my browser?
A: First, make sure you have uninstalled all download manager applications installed before FreshDownload.
After installation completed, restart your computer, and then run FreshDownload.
When a window pops up on the screen asking you "Would you like to make FreshDownload as your default download manager?", click Yes.
Go to View > FreshDownload Options menu, click Integration tab, and then make sure the "Integrate into Internet Explorer (and or Netscape Communicator/Opera)" options has been checked/selected, if so click OK.
Exit from FreshDownload and then restart your computer.
Try to test downloading any files from your browser.
If you use Internet Explorer 6.0, please also make sure the third party browser extensions in IE 6.0 settings has been enabled. To enable it, go to IE Tools-Internet Options-Advanced-Browsing and make sure the "Enable third party browser extensions (requires restart)" has been checked and then restart your Windows.

Q: Even though it is uninstalled and I have attempted to delete any relating entries in the registry, I get a message, FreshDownload cannot take over this download. How could I solved it?
A: We have put "FD.exe /u" command line in the installer to unregister all DLL files that probably registered into your system.
If this failed and FreshDownload plug-in still in the Netscape/ Mozilla/Opera plug-in folder, then try to delete npfd.dll or fdplugin.dll file from that folder.
Or if there is problem with IE integration, type this on your run menu:
regsvr32 /u "C:\Program Files\FreshDevices\FreshDownload\FDcatch.dll"
Restart your computer, and then delete all files in FreshDownload folder. FreshDownload only keeps its files in that folder.

Q: When I install the new version of FreshDownload the following error message displayed: "COULD NOT REPLACE FILE FD.EXE , ERROR 5"
A: Close the old FreshDevices before installing the new version. Probably you run it in the background (look into your systray). This also solves the same problem with other FreshDevices software.

Q: I have done everything you say in the FAQs but I still get the IE dialog and FD only comes up intermittently. The settings I set won't stay enabled in options and I keep getting told to restart the browser. How to solved it?

Q: When I want to download it "Initializes" and then hangs on, then runs through the 5 redials until it fails. It's as if It can't either get access, or cant access. I have uninstalled, and then reinstalled FreshDownload. I have turned off firewall, but too no avail.
A: If this problem happened in all url and server then it means there is a problem with your system. Make sure you have given permission to "fdgo.exe" file to access Internet in your firewall settings. And if you use proxy server connection, make sure you have set it in FreshDownload Options, like you set it in your browser.
