Have you tried just downloading to the Desktop? If not, please do that
and report back. Since you have two users, please log into the second
user account and try to download to the Desktop. Are you using IE7 to
download? If you are and downloading to the second user's Desktop
doesn't produce the file, please install Firefox from www.mozilla.com
and try to download something with that.

Also, what are you downloading? Are the failed downloads all from one
particular site or from various sites?

As you can tell from these questions, I'm trying to narrow down the
troubleshooting path. Since I can't see your computer, you have to help
with the description of what is happening.

If this is too frustrating for you and you don't want to do this, that's
OK. Have a local professional or skilled friend (someone who is really
skilled, not someone who just says s/he is) come over and take a look.
