Every time I try and download something (especially games), it starts, finishes, then "deletes" itself. I cannot click on it nor find it anywhere on my computer or where I saved the file (my downloads folder). I have tried to download games on internet explorer 8 but it says I cannot download files more than 2 gigs. Help please? (I use Firefox web browser)
 
Hello and welcome,

In order to troubleshoot your problem we need to know more detailed specs of your system hardware.

1. Go to Start > Run, and type msinfo32, look under the Components section for hardware identification
2. Go to Control Panel > Device Manager and look for any entry that has a yellow flag beside it
3. The manufacturer name and model number of your PC, if applicable
4 Please fill out your computers specs in the User Control Panel here on the site as well. It will then appear next to your name. look at my posting and you'll see the drop-down arrow.

The exact make and model of your motherboard would be of great help also.

Are you using the 32-bit or 64-bit version?
Was this a "clean" install or an upgrade?
Try using IE, and make the file save to the desktop.

There's no reason you shouldn't be able to download files more than 2GB's with IE. What is the exact error message your receive?
 
i put as much as i could find.

i have a 32 bit version
I downloaded it then used the setup to install it

edit: I tried saving to my desktop and that didnt work (using firefox)

Is it the official RC directly from MS?

Set Firefox's download directory to your users desktop so you can easily locate the downloaded file.
 
i think it was a clean install
edit: it was official from Microsoft


and i tried to download a magicISO program and it made it into a .exe.part file and it asked what i wanted to open it with

What is this MagicIsO file you are referring to?

Maybe it would be a good idea if you gave me the site you are trying to download from.

Please don't tell me it's a torrent site:)
