That looks normal.

Can you explain about the "blank box" where the download should be?

Also, when you reset IE you followed the directions in the following link and chose to delete personal settings?:

Yes, I've reset IE and deleted personal settings. This started in 10, so I did an uninstall and d/l of 11. At the java site, there is a "download now" bar. It opens another page. 1st screenshot is what happens in 11, 2nd is what happens in Chrome.

You may have to set IE as the default web browser:

Start > type set your default programs in the "Search programs and files" box and press "Enter"

Click on Internet Explorer > Set this program as default > OK

Done, Auggy. Still the same. However, I tried to add the shockwave site to "trusted sites" in settings. Was denied because it's an http rather than https.....

You could remove the checkmark in front of "Require server verification (https) for all sites in this zone" to add the site.

Maybe try also changing the download location:

IE > Tools > View Downloads > "Clear list > then click "Options" > then "Browse" to a new default download location.

I've gone back to 9 after trying 10 and 11 (under Windows 7). No end to the trouble watching videos (if they'll even play). Seems like Chrome or Cool Novo (formerly Chrome Plus) is a much better solution.

Well ... of course.

To be honest here, if the download window of Firefox is interfering within the Internet Explorer window, I'd almost look as a minimum to uninstall Firefox, after saving the relevant profile information of course, corrupted or not, and then redoing what auggy is suggesting from the outset in-regards to Internet Explorer rebuilding.
Not really conducive to your comments.
