It is really not a matter of 'handling'....more a matter of intelligent
decision making. I made the decision to move to Texas where 'cold' is when there is a little frost on the grass in the morning.....early morning. Heck, I just mowed the lawn a few days ago and my pear trees are budding. Five winters in Sault Ste. Marie was enough to convince me that I didn't want to retire in the arctic or any semblance thereof. No doubt, Toronto would be warmer if the Figgs lived elsewhere.

Glad to see you Merkins get a taste of what it is like to live in the real world!! We is tough up here!! Exactly 10 years ago, the Mayor of Toronto called in the Armed Forces to dig Toronto out!! He got a lot of ribbing, but damn, we have had the same weather as both then and what you are having. I think the Loon is pretty cold down there in Texas as well. Now you know why we breed excellent hockey players. Pansy Yanks couldn't handle our weather.....bwa ha ha!! Kissies......The Icicle. "BigRedWingsFan" wrote in message ... Can't you keep this crap up there? Maybe we need a northern security wall too! Damned Alberta sent us another 5" of snow (we had over 33" in the month of December alone) last night and sub-zero temperatures. It's -10ºF right now and tomorrow's high is supposed to be -3ºF and low below -20ºF with another 3-6" of the white stuff. I've got no room for my plow guy to put anymore!!!

Looks a lot like a problem with the download manager, Norm. As suggested, System Restore may be your best bet. Harry. "norm" wrote in message ... I am looking for help on this one.

norm, it might just be that "The requested site is either unavailable or
cannot be found" g Is the site where you are trying to download files from the ONLY site where you have this problem or are you having problems on ALL sites? Could you please share the url of the offending site so that we might be able to check for ourselves. Try the following url - which has just worked for me - it is a 'zipped' file for the Nokia Test Pattern Generator (monitor/screen Test Card) utility. You don't have to install it (although its a very handy utility) if you don't want to. Just see if it will attempt to download and save. Tell us how far you get with the (download) exercise and at what point it fails. http://download.softpedia.com/dl/576.../Nokiaver2.zip If you want to know more about the utility, see :- http://www.softpedia.com/progScreens...hot-34390.html NB - I have no connection with Nokia Good luck Mart "norm" wrote in message ...

Now that Norm has confirmed a few previously unanswered points - and
interestingly, Heirloom also mentioned HOSTS, alluding to a similar suggestion of 'malware' issues - I would concur with your suggestion Zee, of downloading the SUPERAntiSpyware file to another computer and transferring it across to his 'faulty' one, then installing a running it to scan for spyware etc. Also wonder that if not malware, then his security settings might be set a bit too high on IE - using Corday's logic - although Norm confirms reverting to earlier registry without success. Not much else left. Mart "oops!!" wrote in message ... I'm sure you missed my post...

Can't you use another PC to download SUPERAntiSpyware?
I do feel, as others have also mentioned, that your problem is malware related. Zee "norm" wrote in message ... Hi Zee, I am unable to download files from anywhere.
