WebClient DownloadFile problem

I recieve the following error when attempting to download a file from our
web server to be placed on our hard drive. Any clues as to why I would get
this error? By the way, the directory already exists on the hard drive
("c").

System.Net.WebE xception: An exception occurred during a WebClient
request. ---> System.IO.Direc toryNotFoundExc eption: Could not find a part of
the path "C:\Essex\Downl oad\POLEXPT1.DT 1".

Why does WebClient.DownloadFile loose my completed path? Ok, I have a function in my app then when my button is clicked it checks to see if the files come from a local drive or a http address. The portion of the code that pulls from the drive works great, but when the http address is active it changes the originating path to my C:\Windows\System32 folder instead of the proper path. I keep the path as a field on my form so I am certain...

Hello--I just upgraded to Visual Studio .NET 2005 and suddenly, all my .NET 1.1 applications that accessed Web sites have broken. For example, this code: WebClient wc = new WebClient(); wc.DownloadFile("http://www.microsoft.com/", "MSFT.htm"); .... throws a WebException on the second line. The WebException doesn't specify a problem, but it has an InnerException of type NullReferenceException with the following stack trace:
