Download problems - HELP!
I have Windows XP Media Edition, Version 2002, SP3. Over the past month or
so, I am no longer able to download anything. This includes opening email attachments, opening documents stored on sites, and even downloading software. When the box opens to designate Run, Open or Save, the download begins and gets to 99% and then stops, regardless of which action is chosen. I use Windows Defender and McAfee Security Center. I have run all scans, and no unwanted files or programs are found. I have run all routine maintenance programs but nothing helps. I attempted to download the free version of Superantispyware, as mentioned in another post, but got hung up at 99% there, too. Any thoughts? |

maybe you might try to disable
your anti virals as they may be configured to deny you the privilege of using your computer the way you want to. -- db·´¯`·...¸)))º DatabaseBen, Retired Professional - Systems Analyst - Database Developer - Accountancy - Veteran of the Armed Forces - Microsoft Partner - @hotmail.com ~~~~~~~~~~"share the nirvana" - dbZen "cblake" wrote in message ...

It is McAfee that is the cause. Disable the scanning or get rid of McAfee
altogether. -- Peter Please Reply to Newsgroup for the benefit of others Requests for assistance by email can not and will not be acknowledged. "cblake" wrote in message ...
