    Hi all ,
    Hope you can help.
    running windows xp sp2 fully updated and also AVG anti virus.
    I have noticed over the past few days that I can no longer dowload files even from emails i.e XL spreads and even PDF .
    I click on save, but the file never saves to the location. Just vanishes.
    I tried to download firefox, but even that will not download.

    Tried turning off firewall, no joy.

    Help!

    Thanks Totty,
    Can anyone else shed any light on this apart from formating?

    Try a Windows XP 'Repair Install'
