Not clear at all. What are your trying to do? sounds like some code is not compatible with IE & Chrome. Care to elaborate and share?

You should update your question with code such that one can tell if it has to do something with browsers and why it is so.

protected void btnword_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
Response.Redirect("Downloads/222.docx");
}

Looks like a URL formed issue. Are you sure that the path is correct?
Tried to debug and see?

yes, this application is completely run with Mozilla Firefox without any issue.
just not download in internet explorer and Google chrome.

Yes thats Ok but there needs to more for sure. How the request was made and if anything else was made, etc. For now, with no info on any error, it's hard to comment then.

Have a look at this link that shows how to force the "Save as..." dialog. The reason that the file isn't downloading is because it is a known file type and opened with the registered handler for that type.

Good luck!
