I have been trying to download VC++ express 2010 from the Microsoft site and I've run into a problem that I can't seem to work around. The website is slow, except when I get to the part of interest, where I select a language to download. I get the little popup from IE saying it has blocked something, and I hit the jaws command alt+n to see what was popping up. It was a download button. So I pressed it. Nothing happened -- it vanished and I was taken to a page with instructions on how to register my copy. Now my problem is this: no matter what I do I can't get to that download -- nothing is ever downloaded and I end up going in circles on their site. Is this normal? I know people on this list are using VS express and can maybe clear up this annoyance. The page I start at is http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/visualc/default.aspx I click on download or VC++ or whatever -- I've tried them all. You can tell I'm getting crazy with this site. TIA for any assistance! --le __________ View the list's information and change your settings at //www.freelists.org/list/programmingblind
