Hey, everyone.

A simple solution may just be that you need to reboot your PC.

I have already tried rebooting and that didn't help.

Try with a different browser -- and make sure you have any download manager turned off.

This situation is always something very simple on your system that will be easy to resolve.

Where do I go to do this?

Where do I go to do this?

The reason to try a different browser is because your browser (possibly Internet Explorer?) may be trying to run your life and think you are an idiot. IE will sometimes block your access to perfectly safe files. Other browsers allow more natural control when browsing the internet.
Different browser?
Try firefox. (it's insane that PC's are still fitted with IE as default (monopoly law -- where are you?) )

Find firefox by googling 'firefox'
I use it -- & so does every programmer I know without exception.

[smiley=smiley_down.gif]I just installed firefox and when I try to download anything off this site, I get the same error message as before.

By the way, I live in the United States of America, in case you were wondering.

... I wasn't wondering ... Like most sites we are on the net - worldwide  -  73% our user are US based.

Are you using any kind of download assistant?

The thing you have to realise is this is your system .. and you need to be specific if you want to find a solution. This is not a common situation.

If you can give as much info about what firewalls etc you are using (& if you have eliminated them as a possible cause - by turning off to do a test connect, for example) ..

I am using Windows 7 Home Premium.  I don't have any download managers turned on that I know of.  But needless to say, there are a few things I want from Simviation tonight that I can't get or find on any other site, so I am pretty baffled and preturbed.

Say your using Firefox

Ok, this advice is really helpful.  But do I go to control panel to see firewall/trused site settings?

No - your firewall. 

What exact message are you getting with FF?

Presume you reboot your PC every day?

I am currently using internet explorer.
