    problem downloading games

    Hi, I have a new computer and new to windows vista, I can search the web no
    problem but it will not let me download any games or videos. when I click
    Allow the download for the security after the download it will just
    dissapear, won't let anything download. Is there a secret I don't know or do
    I need software to allow me to download 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.

    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.
