Cannot download files, plus Win update problems, and more besides
My recent clean installation of Win 7 64-bit is giving me a host of problems. I think I've overcome the recurrent message that claimed wrongly that I didn't have an authentic copy (I entered the validation code again). But I can't download any files in the normal way. IE11 just will not open or save them, even with minimal security settings. No message. I'm using MS Security Essentials for AV with standard MS firewall. Win Update has also stopped working. When I try to do a manual update, I get a message saying it is not under execution and suggesting I reboot. And try as I may, using all the re-install workarounds that I can find on the Net, I cannot get Windows Live Mail to function. I always get the message that calendar data is corrupt. What is going on?
