OK, I've got a few things for you to try: After you try each thing, try to download this:
http://www.belarc.com/free_download.html
Also, if you have trouble finding any of this on your computer, just go to Start/search/ and type whatever you're looking for and click search.

First try this:
While in internet explorer, go to:
Tools - Internet Options - advanced - then scoll to and put a check next to "notify when downloads complete"

Also, under
Tools - Internet Options - security - local intranet - set the security level to medium-low

Also, under
Tools - Internet Options - general - temporary internet files - click delete cookies and delete files, and under history click clear history
(now try the download)

If that doesn't work, try this:

Click Start/Control panel/windows firewall/general/ then, if it is checked, uncheck Don't allow exceptions. Then go to the exceptions tab, and if their are programs or website companies listed here that you think you may download for or from, then put check marks next to them. If things are listed and unchecked, the firewall is blocking some aspects of them.
(now try the download)

If that doesn't work, try this:

Click Start/Run
Type Regedit and hit OK
Follow this path:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Plugins

Now in the Left pane you should see a subkey named "Extension" that's listed "within" and underneath the "Plugins" key in the Left side of the screen. Right click on "Extension" and select Delete. Now close Regedit. Note that editing your registry is a very dangerous process, and I wouldn't recommend doing it without advice. (this counts as advice

)
(now try the download)
If that also doesn't work, let me know. What do you have for antivirus and antimalware (spyware and adaware) software?
