After a free upgrade from a friend, I installed windows ME, got everything working including my Internet (Cable LAN).

All up to today I could use internet explorer and go to various sites and download, but now I cant download anything. Internet still works but when I click a link to download, the window opens asking save/open, I can choose save or open it don't mater, and basicaly the download will sit at 0%, the speed and rated time left are not loaded. This was not hapening earlyer today.

Now because of this I cannot download my firewall. Now I had a firewall earlyer, outpost, decided to go back to kerio and put that in. since then I believe the problem started. No firewalls are loaded right now, I checked startup and everything and uninstalled all firewalls.

I tryed a system restore, i tryed varios restore points and all failed.

I thought ok I have netscape on a CD so I will install it, well screw that, its version 4.5 and as soon as you launch it, it forces you to create an acount and you must have a dialup, it has no option for LAN setup.

Could try puting windows ME CD back in and install again without format. Any ideas?
