    This happens with anything I download. I am starting to think maybe it is a registry problem but I don't like playing around there.

    OK,


    Perform a System File Check:
    • Click on the start
    • Type CMD on Search
    • Left click and Run as Administrator
    • Type SFC /scannow
    Full tutorial here:

    Download and install CCleaner: CCleaner - PC Optimization and Cleaning - Free Download

    1. Open CCleaner and go to the registry tab.
    2. Scan for issues.
    3. After its done finding them.
    4. Click on fix selected issues (Save a back up before fixing them)
