so, do you have any anti spyware tools such as Ad-aware and spybot, perhaps your requests are being blocked by some evil spyware.
what kinda virus protection if any do you have?

hi, thanks for replying

no, don't have any anti-spyware tools
or anti-virus software

try scanning with Ad-aware SE - Download

[horsie]

okay I will
thanks!

[John_Doe]

use Ad-aware and spybot in conjunction with each other
go here for spybot:
http://download.soft...ybotsd14rc2.exe

make sure you get all the updates for both Ad-aware and spybot. this will ensure a perfect scan. what ever those programs find, put a check in the box and delete them,
you need virus protection, go here for FREE AVG:
http://free.grisoft....E/lng/us/tpl/v5

install and run, make sure you check for updates, this will also ensure a perfect scan for all evil viruses.

Also, if you havent already , turn everything off in the background.
Start, run...type this in "msconfig"
in the start tab, uncheck everything except AVG....

good luck

[horsie]

thanks john!

don't think I can turn everything
in background off that way -
I'm in mac os 9.1

[horsie]

yikes this is getting crazy
downloaded ad-aware
and it shows up on my desktop
as an html file
(has explorer symbol on icon)
and is complete text gibberish
when I try to open it
tried twice and same thing happened

why? anyone know?
maybe the evil virus is
preventing downloads at this point?
thanks so much

[John_Doe]

I forgot you are using Mac...

At this point in time, I really dont know what else to say

[horsie]

okay, thanks anyway john
