Everytime I hit download on anything it opens a new window to download but it closes automatically. I tried to download a microsoft program and no go ...tried to download a yahoo game and no go... My internet explorer looks different too -- there is no "tools" button anymore -- I recently was having ISP problems and could not go online so I was advised to use restore and go back 3 months when my computer had no problems -- this corrected the ISP issue and can now go online without any problems but...cant download a thing?? I dont know how to check firewalls and stuff like that -- so please hold my hand and walk me thru....thanks !!!

I think you may have viruses in your computer. If you have problems with firewalls and/or pop-ups you should see a dialog box pop-ing up or a notification at the top of your web browser just under the 'adress'. Try to scan for viruses or trojans..

Possibly a spyware or virus infection, but try reinstalling Internet Explorer first (add/remove programs, then download from Microsoft).
You might also give Mozilla Firefox a go. I find it more user friendly and it's more secure too.

You have to say yes to allow pop-ups. because the download is a pop-up. and if the windows block the pop-up you can´t download anything

disable all pop-up blockers in your PC, yahoo has blocker in toolbar also, find and disable all and try again.
