Okay. I hope this makes sense. A few weeks ago, my cousin's computer started acting up. They couldn't download
anything except for Windows updates with Internet Explorer. Avast updated normally within itself. The only thing that remedied their being unable to download files was to install a new browser. (I had to download Firefox with my PC and save the installer on a CD) I have never seen that happen before. Seriously, they couldn't even go to the Microsoft Download center and download. A box would come up saying it was downloading and nothing would happen. Same thing when choosing "Save Target As" A box would come up asking where you wanted to save the file, and it would appear to save it, but when you went to the specified location, nothing was there.
Anyone know what could cause that? I suspect something to do with the Registry somewhere...is their best bet to reinstall Windows? Just curious as that seemed awfully strange to me...
