Vista help: Windows Vista won’t let me install files of any kind.

Windows Vista won’t let me install files of any kind.

For example when i try to install firefox, it only opens the run or save window.
When i press run after downloading, nothing happens it doesn’t open the exe.
I think it might also be a problem with my firewall.
Comodo firewall/ defense+

Anyone got any ideas how to solve this?

That’s weird. Go to commodo, go to firewall, advanced, Firewall behavior settings, and either training mode or disabled.

I’m clicking run and it says:
IE is not responding.
And it refreshes the IE page cause it was stuck or something?

dunno how to lol.
I havn’t updated since I got this computer since I got it recently.
and im not only having problems for running the exe for firefox. also for stuff like messenger plus, virtual dj, and other exe files so i don’t think the problem is with IE ?

Oooh, that’s a big deal, you need to update. Either go here: http://update.microsoft.com/microsoft… or through the control panel.

Probably not, but you do need to update. Other than that… ask an IT guy. I’m not great at this kinda thing.

if ur on vista, you have to shut down the firewall in windows. then download, install comodo firewall/antivirus then restart windows firewall. good luck, microshaft does not like freeware in its vista or 7. lots of love, tari101
