I recently installed WinXP. I had WinME before this, very few problems. I formatted, installed WinXP, and everything is fine, except one thing. I cannot downloading anything. for instance, I go to http://www.aim.com , and I try to DL AOL Instant Messenger. The dialog may or may not pop up, and when it does, I select a folder to download to, and the Time Remaining stays blank, Transfer Rate is blank, and the Progress Bar does not move. The file doesn't download. One of my friends told me something about having an NTFS system instead of FAT32. I dont know if this will fix it, but if there is something easier, I'll take that instead. I have RoadRunner Cable, I Obtain IP and DNS addresses automatically, and am through a router. I have released and renewed my IPs twice. I did not have this problem before WinXP came along. I'm not a computer newbie, so I have tried all the menial things, like Virus Scanners, Cookies, IE options, etc.. I would greatly appreciate help please! Thanks, Ryan I also took a screenshot of what happens: http://www.geocities.com/thejmclan/DL_Problem.GIF

maybe your router's builtin firewall is blocking it?

If you find that a communications program such as AOL Instant Messenger won’t work when you have Internet Connection Firewall enabled, you need to instruct Internet Connection Firewall to allow specific openings in its security net, called TCP ports, to permit certain types of traffic to pass through. Hope this helps. Bye

I had my firewall before I had WinXP and it did not block anything. The WinXP Firewall is disabled, and I'm not trying to USE AOL Instant Messenger, just download the install file. This happens with any file anywhere on the entire internet that I try to download
