Cant Install or download ANYTHING!!!
Hi everyone. Im new here as well as new to Windows 7. I apologize to the members and the admins if this is in the wrong place to be posting this but my problem deals with mostly trying to download and install software.
Here's the situation:
1. I have an old Gateway computer that was factory installed with Windows XP 2005.
2. I wipe the computer clean and installed Windows 7.
3. After installing the 32bit copy I find that I cant download or install a thing. The two main things I want to download is Firefox and flash player.
4. What happens when I make an attempt? It shows the download box going all the way to 100% but then it disappears and nothing happens. I see the cursor with the little circle on the screen but that disappears too(the little circle). Nothing happens.
Ive tried everything from changing Users to doing it as a network administrator to adjusting security features to allow for downloading, even if its potentially unsafe. Nothing works. Ive been at this for days now and have hit the wall. Hoping for some new ideas. Thanks everyone for your time and suggestions.
