I have asked the question before but nothing seem to solve it. I knows its hard to answer what you cant see, but here goes.
example I was trying to download a game for my boy and it came up saying you may need adobe shockwave plugin. I follow the link and press download and it starts to download then comes up with cant find webpage (it does this on everything I try so I know its something to do with the computer setting but cannot find out what)
Can anybody point me in the right direction please. I have disabled ad-ons also disabled pop up blocker. but nothing seem to allow it thru.

system is dell. windows xp. using internet expoler. Anti-virus is microsoft ess.

Sorry, did not read it properly, are you the administrator or using a limited account ?

When you say cant download Anything, do mean anything (nothing), ie normal day to day downloading?, if this is the case then could be a Virus, normally starts by not letting you update your Anti Virus.

Is this your own PC, or a work provided one?

Yep. Log in as an admin and try again. Then log out as an admin, or else Jaime will smack your bottie.

Just tried this again and it opens the download page so that I can click on the start download button, once i do this it moves onto the next bit but i am left with a empty screen,

Day to day downloads work ok I can look at utube etc, it just seems to be when i want to run a software update. The last time I asked this question i was trying to run the scan details from cruccial.com to see what ram I have.

I bought this second hand and i think it was a ex works.

If I have to log in as a admin how do i do this.

Recently had the same thing on a friends laptop.Wouldn't install or update.Turned out to be a simple fix.Check the date and time. If these are wrong it can cause problems.
