Why can't I download .............

[G.Katts]

I'm the Admin of this PC yet can't download some files from the internet.
How do I get to download them? Why don't I have control over my own PC?

try turning off your firewall

1. Please quote some of the post to which you referring.
2. This is terrible advice. The OP should *not* turn off his/her firewall.
The OP needs to provide more information as suggested by Cyberwolf.

Please attempt to provide more information :

1) What type of files?

They were an assortment. Password finder, Karen's Directory Printer etc. It
occured to me to use Mozilla FF. That worked.

2) What web browser? Or are we talking from a FTP Server? Limewire?
uTorrent? Etc...

Just IE7 that came on my PC.

3) What message specifically are you getting when you "can't download"

There was none. The downloads wouldn't even begin. Nada! Nothing........
something was blocking downloads. We finally did a system restore due to
oddball lockups and I was able to download iespell for IE7.
