I'm unable to download games, programs, etc from the internet.
I'm unable to download games, programs, etc from the internet. It started a year ago and I still have the problem. I click on "Download", the dialog box appears, click "run" dialog box appears indicating the time to download, and then click "Run" and the dialog box disappears without ever finishing. Anyone know what is happening, why and how resolve it. Please keep in mind I'm not savvy with the computer language and need answers in the form of simple. Thank you
There is no way to accurately diagnose that lasts a year and with so little information. You should start by ensuring that the computer is free of viruses/malware:

Post back with the results for further assistance.
If you can't do the work yourself (and there is no shame in admitting this isn't your cup of tea), take the machine to a professional computer repair shop (not your local equivalent of BigComputerStore/GeekSquad). If possible, have all your data backed up before taking the machine into a shop.

Satellite A100-756: browsers close attempt to download files from the Internet
I bought a Satellite A100-756 just before Christmas and it has been running XP Pro SP2 absolutely fine without any problem.
I've upgraded to Vista Ultimate this weekend and I can't download files to PC from the Internet using ANY web browser I installed.
I dropped all the security settings just in case it was the cause of the problem but still can not do.
If I click on a link to downliad an exe file, for example, the Run/save/Cancel dialog pop up, if I click on RUN it run the application, but if I click on SAVE, the browser closes right down.
The same thing happens if I'm going to transfer a system file to MySpace or one of my web servers via HTTP.
I tried IE7 +, FireFox & Opera and all do the same thing.
It's the exact even if it is a pure install or an upgrade, and the same copy of Vista works fine on all the other machines I have here (I installed to test just in case it's a Vista only bug. it's only the Toshiba that has the problem.)
Nothing is written to the event logs, or error report.
Someone at - it ideas?

I am running windows XP Pro and am unable to open any programs at all. I was uninstalling some programs add and remove applications in Control Panel and I think I deleted a necessary program, file or something because right afterwards none of files or programs would be open. I get the error the file extension that is not associated with this file. I can't open the system restore program to restore the computer to an earlier configuration. I tried to get a regestry cleaner to fix regestery errors, but none of those I work. I am able to get on the internet and e-mail but am afraid the computer because it cannot be started again. I tried to load a regestery cleaner from the internet but nothing will load or run it. Help! I also tried to change the program that opens files, but went wrong, and now all files are associated with windows internet explorer 8. I have no idea how I did all this and come back to this computer from the place of the computer because the old hard drive died on me and they put in another. It was working fine until I felt the need to clear up disk space and delete some old programs. I'm sure I messed up and deleted a file that was necessary to open others. I don't have the XP disk to try a fix and nothing in the pages of microsoft download will run. Oh please I don't want to take that back to the computer type that will charge me an arm and a leg. I just made him pay $ 200 last week. Any help will be great.

Whenever I launch Firefox 20 Mac OS X 10.7.5, I get the warning message by clicking "" Firefox"is an application downloaded from the Internet. Are you sure you want to open it? ». How can I stop this? There are displays on internet and previous assignments on this resolution by using Terminal commands for OS X 10.5.x & 10.6.x, but these commands do NOT work in 10.7.x or 10.8.x. This seems to be a problem of Firefox ONLY, and resolve by disabling the recommended world of security features to OS X, as before in a previously closed thread appears as a solution really BAD. Is there a "Firefox" solution only, or I will have to just to stop using Firefox?
Make sure that Firefox is installed correctly.
Open the Firefox disk image (DMG) file and drag the Firefox program in the folder of the application on your hard drive.
You should not double-click the Firefox application to run from the disk image and drag it out of the DMG file instead. -
