Hi, Rstory,

Assuming you are using Windows Firewall-

Allow a program to communicate through Windows Firewall

http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/allow-a-program-to-communicate-through-Windows-Firewall

You can also try to save the download to your desktop.  Double-click the .exe file to run the installation process.

    I get an error indicating cc cookies dir: cannot do file / cookies: permission denied (error 13) when I tried to download the installer of creative cloud on my Mac. Can anyone help with similar pop-up window?  I try to get a trial version of CS5.

    You don't need to involve creative cloud to install try the trial version of CS5...

    You can download the demo version of the software through the page linked below and then use your current serial number to activate it.

    Don't forget to follow the steps described in the Note: very important Instructions in the section on the pages of this site download and have cookies turned on in your browser, otherwise the download will not work correctly.

  • Re: Can't download yahoo messenger

    Hello

    I have an A500-1f4, I always use Avira premium security and did not have the download yahoo problem or any other problem before, now when I try to download yahoo messenger Avira blocks the site saying it is a malware, I tried to disable the firewall, but it didn't continue to download by saying there is a network problem
    I did a full scan with Avira and windows defender, but they both showed that the computer is clean
    I did a disk system restore but the same problem occurs again, also the same thing when I try to download realplayer, other downloads work up to now

    In general this problem has nothing to do with Toshiba and if your Avira do some problems contact Avira support and ask for help.
    I also use Avira (free version) and can download Yahoo messenger http://messenger.yahoo.com/download/

    Do you use the same link to download?

  • Error 107 (net::ERR_SSL_PROTOCOL_ERROR): SSL protocol error. I'm unable to open Yahoo Messenger or email.

    Original title: error 107

    Anyone know how to fix this error? Error 107 (net::ERR_SSL_PROTOCOL_ERROR): SSL protocol error

    I'm unable to open Yahoo Messenger or email.

    Hello

    1. don't you make changes to your computer before the problem?
    2. is the relevant question for Yahoo Messenger and Email only?

    I suggest that you follow these steps and check if the problem persists.

    Step 1:

    Test the issue in safe mode with network.

    Step 2:

    If it works fine in safe mode with network, turn on your computer in a clean boot State and check if the problem persists.

    Note: Don't forget to restart your computer as usual.l.

    Step 3:

    Problem can be linked to a malware infection, I would have you download, install and run Microsoft Safety Scanner and check if the problem persists.

  • Code800F900 'unknown error in windows update' trying to download windows vista service pack 2

    try to download windows vista service pack 2. Last update was on May 21, 2010. For a few weeks or months, the computer can be terribly slow. Often a hard drive rattle sound. For this, I tried anti-spyware, last week I installed and ran AdAware from lavasoft. It found nothing except two small cookies. A few weeks earlier, I had done the same thing using windows Defender. Also nothing. Along with a check disk hard I did not find much either. What end of the lifecycle for this computer, now about 3 years? He was one of the first available vista computers. Thank you for your help, Peter

  • Unable to download yahoo messenger

    Hello! I'm alexs, I would ask you help coz I'm having a problem downloading my yahoo messenger. I use even before and it works perfectly until such time I can not access the program which lead me to uninstall the program. later, I decided to download the data and unfortuna tely there is a message that comes out of my office that says "Yahoo! messenger is unable to download files needed for installation. pleas check firewall settings and retry installation. »... I tried to do the last sentence, following the instructions, but still I failed to do so. -Thank you...

    I had the same problem and I had to disable my firewall to download the license key. I thought that without security my system would be harmed, but I had no problem and everything went back and manually restored all of my safety.

  • Error Code 1606 when trying to load photos, messenger or updates

    I'm missing or in other words, inadvertantly deleted, item or app that I need on my computer to be able to download pictures, yahoo messenger, webcam and I can not load my computer updates or can I update java.  I usually get a 1606 Code when I try.  I tried to implement everything that my lame brain can think of short of put in the shop!  Does anyone have any suggestions?  I tried to restore my computer and have tried different programs to eradicate the virus or spyware.  Also, my computer is running slow turtle.  I'm out of ideas.

    This problem occurs because there is incorrect entries in the Shell folder of the user who is logged on to Microsoft Windows. When Windows Installer goes to the sale of Shell folder of the user who is logged on to the computer, Windows Installer cannot locate the correct entry. The solution is inhttp://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/kb/886549.

    The steps to correct this problem involve editing the Windows registry.  Change the settings of the REGISTRY can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the REGISTRY settings configuration can be solved. Changes to these settings are at your own risk. I suggest that you first back up your registry as follows: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/Back-up-the-registry.

    Here are the steps to fix it.

    1. click on start, run, typeregedit in the Open box, and then click OK.

    2. look for the following registry key:

    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell dossiers\

    3 remove the entries that show the path that is listed in the error message.

    886549 KBhttp://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/kb/886549: Regedit open again. In the left pane, click User Shell Folders, point tonew, click expandable string value, type the value name that you want to restore (AppData) and then press ENTER. Right click on this value, clickchange, type the value in the value data for the value name box, and then clickOK. The value data must be: % USERPROFILE%\AppData\Roaming.

    Step 8 KB 886549 suggests that you also check the values in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders. However, by fixing my problem, I had not to change values in the registry key. If this does not work, follow ALL the steps in the referenced article.
