Robert and list, normally I don't respond to old messages, but it seems as
if I was having problems when sending to list over the past few days. I'd
get a mail returned message whenever I'd reply to someone on list. Anyway it
appears that it's the popup blocker that comes with windows xp. I tried
disabling the firewall but the scripts still didn't download. Another trick,
after entering on a link, press and hold down control key. This will bypass
the popup stopper. Press enter key, and push on control key a split second
after enter is pressed.

Hal, the firewall may well be your problem. I have found that by disabling
the
firewall that I was then able to proceed with my download. The problem may
also
be with your virus program or with your internet security level.
Firewall: To disable the firewall, go to start menu, settings and control
panel.
Hit the letter W and you should hear Windows Firewall. Enter here and there
will
be an option to disable the firewall.
Be sure and turn the firewall back on as soon as you have finished
downloading.
Internet: In your internet security settings under tools and options, you
can
allow certain sites access. I can't recall the exact steps at the moment but
it
should say something like allow access or block access. You can type in the
exact address of the site you wish to allow.
I have done this as well but usually go back and disallow this option after
my
download is complete. I am quite paranoid when it comes to hackers but am
likely
getting them anyway.
