Thanks Lurks - but it gets better! My son said to try downloading Firefox, that I may be able to download games with that. So I figured, what the heck, and went to download MOzilla Firefox. However, the same exact thing that I described in my first post happens to mozilla as well. The little papers start flying (as it starts to download), then suddenly the papers stop and the window closes. I can't find Mozilla anywhere on the computer.

I did go and check to see if I checked a popup blocker or changed security settings and everything seems good to go.

I did run Auslogics boost speed a week or so before this all started happening, but I've run that many times before with no problems.

What the Heck!!!
