I am on vista/IE - i seem to be having the same downloading problem - where the download is 9.99MB, only 432KB come down and abruptly quits downloading where the 'downloaded file' indicator stops about about 20% - cuts off, says it's finished, then ' wont open due to file corrupt or empty'
i did not have this problem with the prior version -- any help would be most appreciated.
