I don't if anyone has run into this , but hopefully someone has a answer, my wife's laptop will not complete a download from any site other than windows update, and program updated already installed on the system. I tried to download firefox to see if this would help, but the download stops at 99% and stalls at that point, any help would be great.
 
what program are you using to download? and is it using an nvidia network card?
 
when you say she is using windows do you mean IE? - do you have all the latest driver files for the laptop?
 
Shut down the antivirus (make sure it is shut down by going into processes) then try your download.

What may be happening is your AV is scanning the download after it completes.

I know that my AV (Kaspersky) scans the download after it completes. During this time the download window will hang at 99% then after the scan is complete the window goes to 100%.

This can take a long time on big downloads so be patient if this is what is happening to you too.
 
same happens with eset - pita to be honest as it freezes FF

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?

Impressed you have kept this alive this long EP! So many sites have come and gone. :(

Just did some crude math and I apparently joined almost 18yrs ago, how is that possible???
