Details

If I go to ANY site & try to download an MP3, MPEG; you name it--- your browser
won't allow me to do it. I can't watch Media Player videos - on websites either.

ERROR:


" Blah Blah Blah file could not be saved because the source file could not be read"

I get this on any site I go to.

With Windows browser-I CAN download anything I want..
