My network internet connection is okay (i reset it to be sure). I do can download chrome from my wife's W7 laptop.
I reinstalled W7 a second time but still IE8 32 does not want to download chrome

please help

Which version are you attempting to downlaod? The one from Google Chrome - Get a fast new browser. For PC, Mac, and Linux or a developer/beta version?

just the regular one ..
I get past the accept and install but then it stalls on the download, that is i do not get the download progress window.
The IE8 page indicates 'done' in the bottom left corner.

i am clueless why.
btw igoogle.com is very slow with poor fonts etc as well

very strange as i have a clean install

Sounds odd. Check your network settings. Try opening Command Prompt as admin and type:

ipconfig /flushdns
ipconfig /release
ipconfig /renew

See if that helps any.

thx but sorry did not help
next i reset my home plug system and reset my internet modem to factory defaults
but alas
so it must be something on my PC that prevents me from downloading chrome
script error maybe ?
had this before on another PC but do not remember how to reset.

Sorry for the delay in response.

Have you tried downloading Firefox and downloading Google Chrome through that? Not really something I'd want to do but its something that might work if its just IE thats causing this.

If that doesn't work it could also be your DNS, do you use a custom DNS like OpenDNS or Google's DNS? I know with those I couldn't download some programs properly.
