You may need to "delete your cache".
Most images, web pages, downloaded files, css and js files are stored on your hard drive as temporary internet files. Your browser allots a certain amount of space for all these downloads. Those files are called your "cache". While your cache helps increase the speed at which web pages are re-visited, when full, your cache can play havoc on your browser.
To delete the cache in IE, go to "tools > Internet Options". Under the "general" tab, in the middle you will see "temporary internet files". Select the "delete files" button.
In Firefox, select "tools > options > privacy > cache" and do the same.
If you have a different browser and can't figure out what the heck I am talking about, let me know which browser and I can help walk you thru it.
You'll see, once you have space in your cache, you'll be able to download.

its probably effected by a virus or malmare.spybot will fix it(www.spybot.com) else get ur system scanned by anti virus softwares like avast(www.avast.com).if these dunn't help in fixing ur problem.then format ur sys.
