Hi fellow Newbies. Why can't I download files from the
internet? I've been able to download Window's Update and Mailwasher but every other download link i've tried (Avg and Lime Wire to name but two) seems to be as dead as a ... really dead thing. I don't have a firewall, downloads are enabled in my internet options, to the best of my knowledge I don't have a virus, although I did try to download a tool to scan for a certain virus that can cause these symptoms .. but of course it didn't download. I also tried to download a programme that can diagnose problems with ones downloads but, guess what ... it wouldn't download. Any suggestions? Pleeease. |

Hi,
If you right-click on the download link and choose "save target as" what happens? Do you get an error message of some sort? "claudette" wrote in message ... Hi fellow Newbies.
