  • Have you tried switching off and back on again?

    Do not download anything. Close that window and try it again.
    I'd rather be playing Squash! :tongue:

    Are you using Zonealarm?

    If so, try this:
    In options, right click Firefox or IE (whichever you're using) and uncheck 'Turn on privacy for this program'.

    I saw this on another site but have not tried it myself.

    Sometimes the browser forgets what it's supposed to do and tries to download the file, happens now and again with eBay.

    Just try again.
    It's PAC not PAC Code, it's MAC not MAC Code, it's PIN not PIN Number, it's ATM not ATM Machine, it's LCD not LCD Display, it's DVD not DVD disc... It's no one not noone, It's a lot not alot, It's got not gotten... Panini is the plural of panino - there is no S!!
    (OK my English isn't great, the sciences, maths & IT are my strong points!)
