I had this problem a few weeks ago it turned out that after downloading some windows updates for some unknown reason me windows was no longer valid and had been changed by Microsoft I had to do a complete reinstall then everything was back to normal If I were you I would go to
WWW.microsoft.com/genuine and check

Answer 4

This problem could be cased by:
1- the download link is not compatible with the browser
when you use Internet explorer please try to download with another browser such as Firefox.
2- in Firewire ( go to networks, firewire ) there you can adjust it to allow you to down load.
3- Go to your virus protection and look at locked web sites ( you will find a list which web site is not allowed to download from) and adjust it.
Before you adjust anything please restart your computer/laptop and try to download once again.

Answer 5

Hi there,
To download Mozilla Firefox for free you can click here http://j.mp/1p6ko1e

It is one of the best avaible browser of the web.

Answer 6

Are you using genuine Windows? Reformat your computer and reinstall Windows. Use Windows Vista instead of XP. I am happy that I upgraded to Vista - Very satisfied and pls do not listen to people who only knows how to give critics about it but never used it much or before.

Answer 7

if you have a firewall get rid of it only use the routers firewall.
if thats not work reinstall or OS ( operating system ) if that doesn't work just buy a new one

Answer 8

Check for virus. Or your signal isn't strong enough and the download has timed out.

Answer 9

have to hate when your computer thinks- i means acts smarter than the user.
