I recently purchase a Dell Inspiron 530S and I am unable to download any files. I have tried downloading from different sites and different size files. It will start the download and then stop after just a few kbs have downloaded. I have tried changing browsers and nothing seems to work.

Hi Jerry, Thank you for the post. First, I would like to confirm how you connect the computer to the Internet. Is it a dial-up connection? In addition, please refer to the steps in the following KB article for troubleshooting: How to troubleshoot compatibility problems that affect Internet Explorer 7 in Windows Vista http://support.microsoft.com/kb/936214 Meanwhile, please check if there is firewall on the Router or the Windows Vista computer, please temporarily disable it to test the result. Hope it helps. Sincerely, Joson Zhou Microsoft Online Community Support
