Joshua_ > ok so fix my problem

Blessyl > What type of windows do you have, Joshua?

Joshua_ > vista

Blessyl > I am currently going through with the troubleshooting process, Joshua, to see if it is Comcast related issue.

Blessyl > After that, pease try to do the download. Let me know what is the result. Thank you.

Joshua_ > it is

Joshua_ > I told you that

Joshua_ > nope

Blessyl > What do you mean? You mean you have already temporarily disable any firewalls, spyware, or pop up blockers? And it still did not work?

Joshua_ > What do I mean? I mean the download isn't working because I have comcast and it is your issue and if you don't fix it I will chamge providers

Blessyl > What I am trying to clarify here, Joshua, is the error that you are encountering. I am working now to resolve this. I you believe that it is in Comcast, let me work on it.

Blessyl > I was trying to verify if you have already temporarily disable any firewalls, spyware, or pop up blockers.

I had a similar issue with comcast about 2 years ago. I could not surf to any state of Minnesota websites. I went through a similar process with comcast, they insisted it was not on there end.

About 2 weeks later I could get on the websites. Turns out it was a state of MN problem. My Mom worked for the state in a technology field and I asked her to inquire. They admitted it was a problem on there end. What was the problem, I don't know.

Maybe check with Microsoft. Maybe they can give you a different address to download from. I know a lot of there stuff is not hosted on their own servers and maybe a problem there.

That was nice reading the stuff between Joshua and Blessy.

That Joshuwa sounds exactly like my son.
I really enjoyed the exchange. And laughed outloud when he asked
'Are you stupid?'.
I showed it to my daughter and she agreed with me.
Oh, Lord, type of people out there. Anyway, am glad to know there are other cases too like my son.
