| | RE: problem downloading games Try turning User Accounts Control off temporarily. Then download your game and turn UAC back on. If this doesn't work, try turning off your firewall. Whichever you do - turn them back on! Hope this works for you. You can find UAC by clicking start and entering it into the search box.

| | RE: problem downloading games Gamesraider: I turned off my UAC and lo and behold I was able to download my games. Thank you so much for your help and thank goodness it was something so simple who would have thought. Can't thank you enough I have been trying to figure this out for a couple of months. Now I can do a puzzle or play a game for some relaxzation. -- Thank you for your help, sherry "Gamesraider" wrote: Quote: > Try turning User Accounts Control off temporarily.
