I installed the Service Pack 2 for Windows XP when it first came out, and
ever since my computer is having issues downloading files. Everytime I click
on the "Save Target As.." link, the download window will pop-up and it will
download the first part of the file, but it always stops responding and will
never download a complete file. It will also happen with any other file that
downloads no matter if I use the windows download application or not. in What
could have caused this and what can I do to fix this? Thank You.

Please look in the System and Application logs in Event Viewer for
Warning and Error Reports over the last 2 days use and post copies here.

You can access Event Viewer by selecting Start, Administrative Tools, and
Event Viewer. When researching the meaning of the error, information
regarding Event ID, Source and Description are important.

Part of the Description of the error will include a link, which you should
double click for further information. You can copy using copy and paste.
Often the link will, however, say there is no further information.

A tip for posting copies of Error Reports! Run Event Viewer and double
click on the error you want to copy. In the window, which appears is a
button resembling two pages. Double click the button and close Event
Viewer. Now start your message (email) and do a paste into the body
of the message. This will paste the info from the Event Viewer Error
Report complete with links into the message. Make sure this is the first
paste after exiting from Event Viewer.


Hope this helps.
