Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8

Hi all.

Got a ToughBook CF-29, installed VCDS (formerly VAG-COM). That stuff
works fine and is very cool. Am running XP SP3

Issue: downloading larger files. i.e. installing Firefox and Chrome.
The installer file downloads ok but after opening that, the larger
programme file only downloads to 99% then stalls or repeats attempts
at downloading.

Malwarebytes software is disabled. Can't find any other antivirus
software. I googled a fair amount. Have tried in no particular order:

assigning download to a new user
Changing IDE channels from DMA to PIO
system restore
toggled on/off various settings in two different browsers (IE8 and
Firefox, latest version for XP SP3)
cleared temp files from cache in browsers. Increased cache
allowed Data Execution Prevention to ignore Firefox

Feel free to pmail off list. Much TIA,

Neil - Inexperienced Windows User.    ;)
