Look up IEFIX on google.com Try it.
What is your META REFRESH setting in Tools, Options? Since the setting moves around a bit. If you don't find it, keep looking. It needs to be enabled for some web based downloads to work.
Also, if you installed a firewall, then I leave it to you to learn how to configure it.

I have Windows ME and Internet Explorer 6.0. I can no longer download any software from the internet. When I click the download button (example: Logitech wheel software from Logitech site, or anything else) I get an icon in the upper left hand of the monitor containing a red square, a green circle and a blue triange and the line above the taskbar says "done".
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Shirley
