CAN"T DOWNLOAD ANYTHING
I am having major issues- this computer was handed down to me and for some reason that I cannot figure out- it will not let me download any new programs to my computer. No upgrades or new programs whatsoever. I have Windows XP on a Gateway solo laptop- can anyone help? PLEASE!!!

Re: CAN"T DOWNLOAD ANYTHING
What happens when you try to download?

Any Error messages?

Re: CAN"T DOWNLOAD ANYTHING
No I do not get any error messages- for a lot of programs when I get to the download page I get a blank page with the colored square icon in the top left corner. For other programs it acts like it downloaded but doesn't say anything about failing or being sucessful- it just doesn't do anything and doesn't show up on my computer. Please help me if you can. Thanks!

Re: CAN"T DOWNLOAD ANYTHING
Check these settings:

Tools | Internet Options | Security | Default

Tools | Internet Options | Advanced | Restore Defaults

Also forgot to ask: are you running a Firewall?

Re: CAN"T DOWNLOAD ANYTHING
I tried the internet options- it still doesn't work.
I actually do not know if I am running a firewall- how do I find out?

Re: CAN"T DOWNLOAD ANYTHING
I do have Liveupdate 1.7 (symantec corp), but that's all I saw. I cannot download the program you suggested either.
