where is the download button?

Hello ccyto, and welcome to Vista Forums.

It's the blue button with Download written on it just below the step that you wanted to download that file for.

Interestingly Microsoft still has search option in the start menu in this demo/training video for beginners. As of March 2009 this was still posted. Very frustrating, especially when you are new to vista.

Hello Neheuser, and welcome to Vista Forums.

If you wanted Search back on the Start Menu, then this will help show you how to.

Hope this helps,
