Hello Everyone.
I am kind of HOPING someone might be able to help me with a little problem I have.  I've had a few quirky things happening on my vaio 315E LAPTOP but have sorted most of them out.  Namely MS Firewall has now been switched off and the free version of Zone Alarm installed.
Up until yesterday I have been able to download files from the internet just fine (ftp unaffected).  Now when I try to download an application from the internet I'm only getting about 60k of the file and the download stops.  When you try and run the application it says that is not a valid win32 application (which is correct because it has not downloaded the entire file).

Can anyone please tell me how to resolve this problem with downloading?

Windows XP home edition
IE 6
Firefox 1.5

Try turning off Zone Alarm temporarily...Thank you for your help but I think I now know what has happened...... I run a Netgear adsl router and have been subscribed to parental control by Trend Microsystems through it.  I have turned this off and FOUND my downloads are working fine.  I now have an issue with Trend as I've paid for a years subscription and now can't use it. Not sure why this has happened as I have not upgraded anything on the router.

Thank you again for your help.
Regards

p.s. no DOUBT I will be back with more questions later. lol :-)Do you have some kind of control panel where you can change settings for that parental control SOFTWARE?  Surely, there is some way to set user preferences in it.Yes it is configurable however I took any restrictions off but left the parental control active and couldn't download.  Took the parental control off and now I can download.
Thanks Tho Cheers Kate
Glad to hear you got it solved...stop by anytime.Thanks everyone.... sometimes just talking or typing is this case gives you a better idea how to approach a problem.  Many Thanks will be back for the next problem but hopefully not too soon.
