I tried to change from preferences that I'm not using Download Manager, just
progress dialog and that didn't help.

I can confirm this one running 1.4b on windows XP. Clicking the download manager
does not produce any result except for the following error in the JavaScript
console:
Error: uncaught exception: [Exception... "Component returned failure code:
0x80570016 (NS_ERROR_XPC_GS_RETURNED_FAILURE) [nsIJSCID.getService]"  nsresult:
"0x80570016 (NS_ERROR_XPC_GS_RETURNED_FAILURE)"  location: "JS frame ::
chrome://communicator/content/tasksOverlay.js :: toDownloadManager :: line 51" 
data: no]

I have the same problem with 1.4b under Win2k.  Download manager won't work, and
I can't download anything.  Even if I right click and do save link as.  If I do
that it pops up a dialog box to specify where I want to save it, I click save,
and nothing happens after that.

reporter: do you by any chance still see this problem? If you do, could you
close mozilla completely (including quicklaunch), delete compreg.dat from the
components/ directory and report if this fixes the problem?
