Chris,
Answesr to your questions.
Both computers are on the same small (home) network
Both computers run Norton Internet security but the notebook is a newer vesrion. Both are up to date though
Using Firefox on the desktop works, well it got the file onto the desktop from where I moved it to the coreect location. I have seen references to how to configure Firefox to avoid even this trivial issue.
My IE on the desktop has a few other tool bars etc and to be honest the whole computer is about due for a major clean up due to rubbish collection over the years.
Mt own conclusion now is that I have a messy IE which is causing the problem. If you wish i will follow any suggestions as to how to identify exactly what is causing the trouble but I am slightly out of my depth at this point.
Thanks for the advice and assistance
Regards
Allan
I have a very silly problem. My first mbed prgramme complied without error but failed to down load. The "Getting file information" dialog box appeared and stayed for a very long time, 20 minutes.
I am running Windows XP.
How do I set about solving this issue please ?
