Unfortunately, the problem being discussed is inability to download so I don't know how you'd acquire something like Powertoys or Kerneltoys with some extra Windows snooping tools (from the MS Programmers themselves, no less!) with that problem in the way.

Netscape is the only thing that can't download. everything else, including ie, is downloading fine. Where are these things?

As for SJ's processes idea, I don't recognize most of the stuff there.

Try uninstalling Netscape and reinstalling it. Make sure to back up your bookmarks file first...

* Faints at the thought of getting all those web-comic bookmarks back the hard way.

Woah. You removed IE? That's a neat little trick, or some would say, an impossible task. Care to share how that's done? I'd like to do it to Outlook, Express, Media Player, the XP tour, etc.
