I can't load Firefox on my XP computer. Turn round and round in circles

I can't download Mozilla Firefox on my XP sp3 computer powerful.
"Windows cannot open this program because it has been prevented by a software restriction policy. For more information, open Event Viewer"
I am not able to carry out this instruction. 71.
You are able to help please. I'm about to buy a new computer to be upgraded in several months and several friends recommend Mozilla Firefox for this. After years of IE, I want trialuse MF. John.

Solution. Laughing out loud
I went into MS "Event Viewer" and came across 3 warnings. The last 3 times I tried to install FireFox. I opened them and saw:

The C:\DOCUME~1\JOHNMI~1\LOCALS~1\Temp\7zS5.tmp\setup.exe has been restricted by your administrator by location with policy rule {9ed6ab7b-4937-4314-b9dc-868bd7bd379f} placed on path C:\Documents and Settings\ * \Local Settings\Temp\7z*\*.exe

I went into Regedit and searched "local settings."
I finally found the full link:
«C:\Documents and Settings\ * \Local Settings\Temp\7z*\*.exe»
I deleted all the words and came out with fingers crossed.

Went to the Mozilla Firefox folder and clicked on the exe to install.
He extracted and (no error) Firefox burst into life.
I now have the operational FireFox browser.

I hope this can help others or open a path in spite of being a no tech effort.
Thanks for all the help that you have shared. Appreciated.
Take care. John.
