It was purely because that link was the one I came across. It actualy redirected me away from the Vista site to the XP version anyway.
However I have solved the problem now. It was my IE settings, I have bought a new PC and the manufacturer, Acer, had the settings all very restricted. I didn't think to restart the computer after fchanging the settings as nothing told me to. However now I have, it is all working.
Thanks for your help though. Peter----- Original Message ----- From: "Benjamin Hawkes-Lewis" <bhawkeslewis@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Also, why are you trying to download IE7 from the Windows Vista site, not the IE site (presumably want the XP version not the Vista version, as IE7 is built into Vista)? -- Benjamin Hawkes-Lewis -- JFW related links: JFW homepage: http://www.freedomscientific.com/Scripting mailing list: http://lists.the-jdh.com/listinfo.cgi/scriptography-the-jdh.comJFW List instructions: To post a message to the list, send it to jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxxTo unsubscribe from this mailing list, send a message to jfw-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the word unsubscribe in the subject line.Archives located at: //www.freelists.org/archives/jfwIf you have any concerns about the list, post received from the list, or the way the list is being run, do not post them to the list.
