Specifically, we need to know what browser you are using (IE, Firefox, etc, including the version), and potentially the programs you are trying to download since some programs integrate with the browser, requiring extra permissions.
Let us know.

I am running vista sp2 and am using tech tracker. It said there were updates available for 4 products but I can't seem to download, it says you may need to click the gold bar to allow download but there is no gold bar. Help
