Try booting into Safe Mode with networking to see what happens then. It
really does not make sense that the Windows Firewall would have anything to
do with downloads unless activating it is deactivating another firewall type
program on your computer that could be causing the problem. Booting into
Safe Mode will disable all non essential startup services and logon
processes. If Safe Mode works you can use msconfig to do a trial and error
selective startup of services and processes to try and track down what is
going on.

Have this issue on both my desktop and laptop. On the desktop the download
Dialog box opens allows me to chose a directory to save it in, as soon as
I
set this and save. The download dialog box goes away, no download. On the
laptop it starts to download the program 60-70 kb then claims it's
finished.
I have a router with a firewall and had dissabled XP's firewall on both
units. After trying everything I could think of, with no luck, on a whim I
tried enableing the XP firewall. I'm downloading again. Turn XP's firewall
off, no good. On, everything's OK on both units.
Any one have any idea Why I cannot download files with XP' s firewall off?
All update downloads work fine, only through IE do I have problems.
