Last night I had to take my pc back to factory settings to rectify a major problem and had to re-install Windows XP. Now Im trying to download files (even ones from Microsoft.com) and its only downloading half and doesnt go anyfurther - in other words when the downloading wizard is in the middle of the screen, you can see the sheet of paper flying from one folder to the other, but nothing is happening - its halts itself when it saves or downloads half the file and doesnt download the final portion. I have done windows updates for XP etc, so I dont know if Im missing certain Service Packs or something?
Ive also installed all the system discs that came with the computer also - so I havent left anything off that I shouldnt have (but obviously something isnt right somewhere) - please please help!
Urgent Request.....
Cheers
Terry:-)

when you do the factory reset is it an f10 reset? also the programs you are trying to download where they installed prior to you doing a reset?

Hi Terry.
You could use a free download manager. Try this one here it also has auto resume so if your computer shuts down or you are disconnected, your file will resume download next time you connect.
This is the one i use and have never had a problem.
