Hello,

Have you set the jumpers to the correct setting on the drive connected to IDE cable?

If you double click on the device with the exclaimation mark what is the error description?

Is this a consistant problem? Ctrl+J should open and close the download box, give it a go. Does you computer run slow? Sometimes my browser will freeze IE or Firefox.

You are better off trying a different monitor. That should tell you weither it's the monitor or not.

Okay don't think its firefox, IE is doing the same thing. Tried on Laptop and that does the same IE + Firefox.

How could a firewall cause the problem? both computers are using the same firewall.
