can't download ANYTHING!!
my computer has just recovered from a problem in which was solved by the removing of display drivers. while i doubt that shouldn't affect my downloading, i can't think of anything that is wrong with my computer for it to be as such. now i can't even download new drivers.

i need help!!!

what are the possibilities/causes for my case?

Worth a go
Have you tried a System Restore to a few days ago, when everything was working properly.

It may be one of Micro$oft's famous "undocumented features" aka bugs.

Again I was thinking too deep: Curlyben suggests what ought to have been done as one of the first things.

Good eye, Curlyben!

ivy, definately try that route...and maybe try it a few times going back a few dates. You'll only lose installed stuff - not documents.

I apologize, from the above quote it sounded like it was downloading but you just didn't know where.

Trying a System Restore is a good idea. If that doesn't work, try booting to your XP CD and using the Repair option.
