XP professional downloads

[Guest]

Help please! Each time I attempt to download I either get a message saying
Windows has blocked the download or I get Http error 403 I have just tried to
download Firefox web browser and got error message 403.

Are you using the Administrator account or a User account?

Because User accounts don't allow users to make downloads or install software.

I am the only user and although I dont know much about computers I had
thought it was something to do with administrator/user rights. I could
download until recently but not any more.

403 is "access forbidden".

Irrelevant.

1. Users _can_ download but not install.
2. 403 is access forbidden - at the _website_itself, nothing to do with
the local PC or user.
