Welcome
The firs part is easy
Just type windows live in search, when it pops up, just right click and send to documents. Then drag to desktop.
Im working on the second part now.

For the second, see if an sfc does the trick

HOWEVER
Before doing anything, run a full updated virus scan
If you can download and run a full scan with malwarebytes.
The fact that you cannot download may indicate a virus or malware.

First off...we need to know exactly what software you are wanting to use....There are a lot of Download managers with that name.

I'll use any that work please
I Cant get any to work.. its just too complicted

i tried 'internet download manager' but it didn twork.. and now there are remnants of it stuck in my OS, even after uninstalling.. im very annoyed about that.

I'm now trying flashget, and flashgot..
but its all to difficult

the little tutorials arent clear enuff
and im basically stuck..

I subscribe to 'wupload' so i need a download manager that can intergrate wupload into it.. and i need to know how to do it...
im getting nowhere fast
thanks

 

[logicearth]

Okay...well do you really need a download manager?

 

[mysticeye]

Okay...well do you really need a download manager?

yes

 

[logicearth]

Why?

 

[mysticeye]

to manage downloads???
i have a wupload account

I used interner download manager before, adn it speeds up downloads.. seems quite a bit faster than without.

but it wont work on my windows 7.. no idea why...

ive explained that before

 

[mysticeye]

no-one?

Internet Explorer 9 has a download manager built-in, as does Firefox.

You could try the DownloadThemAll! add-on for Firefox.

Also, sorry I was not gathering exactly what you were looking for.

No worries, and thanks

but i cant fidn that add on when i search for it on firefox add ons

 

[ITGuy505]

Hmm. Try this DownThemAll!.

 

[Dwarf]

Try here: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/downthemall/

 

[mysticeye]

sorry.. managed to fidn it on google instead of the addons search

tho im nto sure this has any way to add a premium download account like wupload??
i cant see it anyway

 

[ITGuy505]

I've never had any experience with wupload to know how it works so I'm not sure if DownloadThemAll! will do it. I suggested it based on that you said you wanted to download from links.

 

[mysticeye]

oh ok..
well wupload is much the same as other.. liek rapidshare, megauopload.. and things like that..

oh well..
i cant beleive this is foxing me this much
on xp it was a 1 minute job...
goes to show 'progress' doesnt always work

UPDTE:
I think IDM is working now.. at last..
so i may be ok.
thanks for th esuggestions

Internet Download Manager (IDM) is a software I use and it doesn't just manage downloads, it makes downloads faster. It sends the request multiple times and downloads different parts of 1 file and creates it into the single installer or file you would usually get with any other download.
As far as I know, IDM does not have Windows 7 support and only works with XP or Vista, try using compatibility mode of you have a desktop shortcut for the program.
