I have deleted large files, removed programs we don't use any more... I did a disk clean, a defrag, shut down my firewall and virus protection, gone through all the trouble shooting methods listed on the troubleshooting site, and it still will not download. Anyone have any suggestions?

I downloaded it when Microsoft offered it and had zero problems.
I only need it for visiting stubborn sites that will only accept an IE browser so I felt I had nothing to lose by getting it - even though it is supposed to be very buggy.

Are you downloading the program from Microsoft website? Try to enable your Active X controls. Also shut off any pop up blockers. Make sure you download all the available updates first.

Itmay be a connection problem? I can give you a link that deals with the internet connection Many of the problems can be solved by making software changes or small hardware corrections. Detailed instructions at http://tinyurl.com/yl62gz Try here if you can get what you wanted If not successful, I can give you a link that deals with hard drive problems. Some drive problems can be easily fixed yourself by using easily available tools. I found the info at http://fixit.in useful

Check at microsoft.com
Seems there are some patches and updates that are needed in certain situations. I was able to download it but then I could not use with macromedia flash player. So I dumped it until there is a more reliable version.

I wouldn't recommend any of the procedures you've mentioned.. are you talking about installing it, and if so does it come up with an error message? And if not, search for a direct download on google.

That's happened with me before with another program. What I did was uninstall it, and install it again. This way it worked smoothly. Not 100% sure if it'll work with Yahoo, but it doesn't hurt to try.

Maybe your computer has developed a conscience and is trying to stop you from downloading that piece of crap.

What happened when you tried a different web browser? What about a different computer on the same network?
