Unresolved downloads

Last response: in Windows 8

Hey everyone!

I am trying to help my brother (I am the family IT guy *LOL*).

He recently bought a Dell laptop with Windows8 pre-installed and he can't get anything to download. He can't download e-mail attachments, his windows updates don't seem to be downloading and I can't download a new browser for him. He can see downloads in the downloads folder of the files he has attempted to download, but all of them just show a status of Partial Download with 0kb file size.

He can download and watch movies and we saved a picture off of my Facebook profile as a test, but these other kinds of downloads aren't happening for him. I've checked his Settings and downloads are Enabled.

Does anyone have any idea about what's going on or what else I can look into to help him get this working properly?

Thanks!

Install Firefox or Chrome.


Thank for tying to help, but it won't download Firefox, or anything else, for that matter. I haven't tried Chrome, but that's because Google wants to install the Google app as well as Chrome and my brother doesn't really need that.

So, essentially, the problem still exists.
