Hello all. On here for support if possible. I just reloaded windows XP service pack 2 with no problem on my desktop. Downloaded AVG for antivirus and also firefox browser. Adobe's exe file will open for installation, but then gives a connection error which I am lost with. Also some executables just will not open after downloaded. Example being the WLC player...It downloads, but when clicking on it to open, it does nothing.
