     I was trying to download a game and while it was
downloading I noticed the URL for it was
http://zone.msn.com/services/install.asp. It seemed to be
taking a long time to download so I wanted to end task on
it. Since my personal computer is at my brothers home in
Roseville, CA, I access the net on public computers in Los
Angeles. I do not have admin or domain admin privileges
while using public computers, and the way the computers
are configured here task manager is unaccessable. I didn't
want to close the security dialog bos that had popped up
because I wanted to give the download enough time to
download. The security message was Do you want to install
and run "Essential Zone File signed 9/24/01 10:46 AM and
distributed by Microsoft Corporation MSN.

    I noticed that the game was up and running again. I
hope the download didn't cause the interuption on your
site.

     Could you tell me what caused your system to lockup,
what game I was trying to download (associated with the
above link, and what the "Essential Zone File" was that is
also associated with the above link?

                   Sincerely,
