I had to reinstall windows xp and now I can't download.
The tech said something about getting rid of the firewall
but I can't find it. What do I do?
 
Do NOT disable the Windows XP firewall. I'd like to smack techs who suggest
that. Do so opens your system to invasion from the Internet. Now, what
can't you download? You need to describe how your system is set up, what
program you're using to download and what settings you have. If this is
through Internet Explorer, please post to that newsgroup.
 
I didn't disable firewall.
Can't download from download.com and half-life steam.
This is through internet explorer. It says that the file
exists, yet I can't find it and it doesn't show up on my
desktop or in files.
 
I was also thinking of trying to reinstall
windows xp as maybe I didn't do something right before.
 
Again, this newsgroup supports games on Windows XP, not computing in
general. Your issue should be posted to the Internet Explorer newsgroup, by
version number. Take a look in IE, Tools/Internet Options/Advanced tab, and
change your setting to Use Passive FTP (for firewall and DSL modem
compatibility).
