After downloading Service Pack 2 I can't download from a Canadian Government
Website. I need a form from this site so I'd love to know what to do! Help!

Bev,

What's the filetype, and what exactly happens when you try to download the file? If it's a public site, post the URL as well.

Bev,

Is the Adobe ActiveX control enabled? (Tools, Manage Add-ons)

The file type is pdf, and yes I have adobe. The actual page url is:
www.forms.ssb.gov.on.ca/mbs/ssb/forms/ssbforms.nsf/AttachDocs/006-FORM-B~2~1/$File/Form+B.pdf
When I hit the button to download it, I get a blank page with a small red x
in the left top corner.

Thank you so much Ramesh. That did the trick. Because you are so
knowledgeable and I am not, perhaps you could also tell me why my machine
seems to have slowed down considerably.

Bev,

You're welcome! System slowdowns may be caused due to a number of factors (spyware/missing outdate system files, unstable application/filter driver, malfunctioning hardware etc )

Follow the instructions in this site:

Also, visit "Quick Fix Protocol" page by MVP James Eshelman, which tells you how to eliminate malware from the system completely, using different set of speciality tools: http://aumha.org/a/quickfix.php
