Download problem
Hi,
I'm running Vista Home Premium on a Vaio FZ490. Suddenly, I started having problems downloading files from the Internet, on a dialup connection. No file will download, including Norton updates, except for Windows updates. No virus, I did a complete scan, and then scanned with new software to doublecheck. No spyware or anything else found. My guess is that a setting got changed somewhere that's messing me up. At least partly because I can still download Windows updates.... I've tried about everything that I can think of, so any help would be appreciated. -- Fr J Mahoney

All Programs/Accessories/System Tools/System Restore Pin that to your start menu so it will be easier to find next time. Louie

What's dialup?? smile Frenchy
