Ok. Here's what I'm running. And it all worked in the old XP machine:

Win7 (naturally)
IE that comes with the computer
DSL @ 3MB
I'm hard wired to the router into the modem thru Ethernet port

Our laptops, my old E-Machine and wifie's computer are wireless. No problems there. It's just this machine.

How I solved the problem was to download the program on my old E-Machine to a USB drive, plugged the USB drive into this computer and installed it from there. Worked perfectly that way.

You may have a point about IE being the culprit. I have Google Chrome on my old machine and that's what I used for a download client. Guess I need to re-install that program again.

Thanks for the ideas guys.
