Im new to the community and I hope I can fit in o-kay. Internet Exporer wont let me download anything. It starts downloading and about half way through it gives me a message that it cant download it because it cant locate the files or the files are unavailable. I dont know what to do. Please help

You say it won't let you download anything ,is this with every site you try to download from ,can you post a link to the site you last tried to download from ,thanks
Also the quote you have in your post ,why is it there is it related to you problem .
Edit: i searched around and found the link to the thread you quoted ,it is refering to pages loading in IE ,are you talking about downloading file or all webpages not loading .

Hi Southernneonser, welcome to DaniWeb 
I'm sure you'll fit in just fine around here.
I split your post into it's own thread; we ask that all new problems be started in a new thread regardless of how similar it may be to another one.
Your problem could be due to some firewall or other settings, but before going in to that, try these utilities and see if there is any improvement:
Get IEFix from here:
http://www.majorgeeks.com/download4467.html
And Winsockfix from here:
http://www.digitalminds.net/index.pl/downloads
If there's still no improvement, try Hoster from here:
http://members.aol.com/toadbee/hoster.zip
Run Hoster and press Restore Original Hosts, OK, and Exit Program.
Note that if you have a custom host file, this will remove it. You can edit the host file with this program too.
Reboot
Let us know the results.

Do you have access to another computer where you can download and save those fixes to a disk or usb drive?

I dont have another computer. I could probably find a friend who would let me send them to him. Better yet , are there any chance you might copy the files to a disk and mail it to me. Any help would be appreciated. I would be willing to send a few bucks for the postage and disk. I spent hours on the computer with Microsoft help and thats like trying to get a dead computer to talk to you. Thanks
What OS are you using? If you PM me your email address, I'll try sending them to you.
