Help! I can't download anything!
How do I fix this so I don't get this message and you can download it again? don't have also no disc model is 15 years old and I don't know even where to start.
the error message is:
the encodepointer entry point not found in dynamic bindings KERNEL32 library. DLL.
EncodePointer was introduced with Windows XP Service Pack 2. I guess that you do not have Service Pack 2 or later installed.
You can check this by right-clicking on "My Computer" and choosing Properties. It will tell you which version of Windows XP, you have installed and service pack (if any) that you have installed.
If you do not have SP3 then:
You can download the full Windows XP Service Pack 3 from Microsoft here:
http://www.Microsoft.com/en-US/Download/details.aspx?ID=24
It is 316 MB and may take a long time. Of course, you said that you can not download files so you need someone else to use a computer that works and to put this file on a CD or something to you you use on the broken machine to try the update.
That said, your computer is old FIFTEEN YEARS so that even breathe on this subject, especially installed a major service with no Windows CD package, is risky. :) If you decide that it is worth a try, I backup the data that I was interested and then install SP3 to see what is happening.

Hello SANDIFAHL,
In addition to suggestions of PML, because you performed a full scan with your antivirus software and nothing came, I would say running a malware removal program.
You could also try to perform a system restore to a time before having this problem.

I can't download anything using all browsers.
Help, please! I can't download anything on my computer. I am currently using windows 8 and Google Chrome. However, I tried to use Internet Explorer and Mozilla Firefox - neither work. The problem is that my download will start but about 1/16th of the way it stops just so that my bytes per second will be detached radically. I don't know what could be the cause of this problem. I tried to reset my computer to factory settings and delete all personal data, but that did not work or the other. In addition, I can't access some Web sites that they come just with a loading without end... and a white screen. I used CCleaner and Anti-Malwarebytes on my computer as well and they cleaned a material or removed certain subjects "malicious." Any help or suggestions would be phenomenal. Thank you!
P.S.: I can't broadcast anything for more than 2 minutes either.

Hi Jsonlee,
Thank you for your response with the updates.
I would like to know - did you start the computer in "Safe Mode with network" to check if you are able to download in this mode.
In Safe Mode, the network drivers will not be loaded and thanks to which you cannot connect to the Internet. But in Safe Mode with networking, the network drivers are also loaded with base on the computer drivers. So, please make sure that you select "Safe Mode with network" and then try to download using your browser application.
You can also try to temporarily disable the McAfee Security program and check if this brings any change in status. To do this, please contact McAfee technical support.
Important: Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you should not disable your antivirus software. If you need to disable temporarily to install other software, you must reactivate as soon as you are finished. If you are connected to the Internet or a network, while your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.
Please get back to us with updates.

It is possible that your antivirus software is corrupt downloaded files or otherwise interfere with the download of files.
Try disabling analysis in real time (live) files in your software anti-virus temporarily to see if that makes working download.See "Antivirus disable in Firefox preferences - Windows."
