I have IE 7 loaded with XP and office 2003. I have 500gb hd with 90% free
space.

Within the last two weeks, whenever I go to download anything from IE 7, I
get the yellow bar at top, select download, and NOTHING happens. Even if I
select manually, it will not. Several times new windows would start to open
then close immediately.

Look in the Windows Components section of add/remove software, see if
you installed the High Security option for IE.

I've seen servers unable to download anything from MS after the last
batch of updates, removing the High-Security option in the Windows
Components section fixed it.
