Unable to Download Anything

Click start/search, type msconfig and hit enter. On the startup and
services tabs, disable anything loading from Symantec/Norton. Click apply/ok and reboot, see if this changes things. -- Best of Luck, Rick Rogers, aka "Nutcase" - Microsoft MVP http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/ Windows help - www.rickrogers.org My thoughts http://rick-mvp.blogspot.com "JDB" wrote in message ...
