I did have the ad blocker that is part of Norton Internet Security activated, so I deactivated it. Still no luck. Very strange! :, <br /> <br />However, this weekend I will be putting in a new hard drive and reinstalling Windows XP and all my other software. Perhaps, after all that is done, the problem will be gone.....if not, I´ll get back to you. <br /> <br />Thanks. :-)
aha... so it wanna play rough.... <br /> <br />OK, try this then: <br />1) Logout of Skinbase <br />2) Close your browser <br />3) Delete all Skinbase cookies (normally in windows\cookies) <br />4) Start your browser again <br />5) Log into Skinbase again and try downloading something <br />6) If it still doesnt work, go kick your neighbours cat - its surely to blame for this!
nothing <br />and a popup to boot!! <br />what did you guys do? <br /> <br />you broke it <br />and i am very sad <br />how can this be? <br />some of the best work out there is here <br />and i cant dl it. <br /> <br />i guess ill move on but this really sucks
After I have read this message , I have try to download some works, just to check out if there is any problem and I found no problem! <br />Can you please, tell us which link doesn´t work?
orion/gluasad, which browsers are you guys using?
I am using IE6 (on Win XP) with all the latest updates. <br /> <br />I´ve been thinking, the only thing I´ve installed recently is an update to my HP Internet Keyboard software. Maybe it is causing some problems. When I put in my new hard drive this weekend and then rebuild my system, I will leave this software out, just to see if it might be the culprit. :-) <br /> <br />Thank you.
adni18, all the links don´t work for me. Every one does the same thing that I described in my orignal post. <br /> <br /> <br />ORION, what sort of software/drivers, etc. have you installed lately on your computer. Maybe, if I have installed something that you have, there might be a common problem between the two of us. It might have something to do with our systems...... let me know. :-)
i am using ie6 <br />none of the links work <br />winxp pro <br />the only thing i can think of is the windows update. <br />but this is the only site that i have probs with. <br /> <br />i have just started using wb 4.1 <br />is this an issue ? <br />i dont know <br />i have gone over all settings <br />deleted cookies <br />diabled any and all internet filters. <br /> <br />when i look at the link, its says "rate" <br />thats it. <br /> <br />i am stumped <br /> <br />i will try opera and see if that works.
i cant even log in with opera <br /> <br />and the same thing happens when i try to download
same here, no popup stopper and i still get the "rate" page. <br />this has never happened before. <br />Any help would be appreciated.
i have found the problem!!!!! <br /> <br />go into options>web content>information about visited sites. <br /> <br />CHECK PERMIT <br /> <br />THATS IT!!! <br />worked great <br />wow <br />weird huh? <br /> <br />HA HA
ah i think i may have figured it out. I was able to download someting now. Alls i did was close all IE windows, disable my firewall, and open IE again and i could download.
great.... [adding this info to the F.A.Q.]
Excellent Orion. <br />Many many thanks <br />:)
Thanks ORION. Works here too. I notice this just started happening within the last week or so. It must have been due to a recent update to Norton Personal Firewall. <br /> <br />Thanks again for sorting that one out. :-)
same here <br /> <br />no problem! <br />i am just glad i can download again :, :-)
Having the same problem. I cannot down load anything. I had norton installed then just for the hope of dling from this site I uninstalled it completely, no luck with that. I messed with the internet options, still no luck. I am not running any add pop up killers or anything else of the kind. Using stock xp no updates, have also used longhornxp with no luck. This is the only time its happend to me.
Have you tried disableing the (shitty) XP firewall?
I´ve had the same problem too.. and I disabled XP´s firewall ages ago.. Waaaaahhhh.. :) <br />Any solutions on this one yet?
Okay, I already had this site permitted in Nortons firewall but I did it over again... <br />I logged out, deleted the cookies, logged back in.. still no downloads.. Eeek <br />guess I´ll just wait till Grave gets back.. I can be patient.. :)
Have you tried the solution that ORION has offered <b>Jim</b> and <b>custompccases </b> ? <br /> <br />He said: <br />i have found the problem!!!!! <br /> <br />go into options>web content>information about visited sites. <br /> <br />CHECK PERMIT <br /> <br />THATS IT!!! <br />
Thanks Nikos.... you are a true gentleman... :-D
yeah <br />that worked <br />i am not thrilled about disabling it. <br />i will go into norton and try to figure out why this is.
Nice to hear the good news! <br />The problem it is solved!!! :) <br /> <br />I was having problems in general with Norton Firewall and I have uninstall it. Any way, I don´t really believe any more in this kind of protection, I was receiving every 2 minutes an attack and I am sure now, that it was a fake alarm ;)
Just finished installing a new hard drive. Had to install the OS and all software over again. So I came here and tried again to download something. Same problem! <br /> <br />Then I read matrix00x´s suggestion. Voila! I was able t download. Now I just have to find out why Norton Personal Firewall has suddenly stopped allowing downloads from this site. :, It doesn´t prevent downloads from other similar sites. <br /> <br />It will probably be a while before I find the solution, but at least now I know what is causing it. :-) <br /> <br />Thanks all, for your help.
I have Windows XP (SP1) and IE 6 too, but doesn´t happen to me, if it was happening to me I could try to find the solution.! <br />I am sorry about it matrix00x! <br /> <br />It is really a strange problem Kevin, I hope someone will bring us an answer to this strange proplem! <br /> <br />
The same for me I´m afraid. <br />Done all the "delete cookie" thing. Logged out - in - out - in. <br />Shook it all about and still no joy ;)
ah and i thought it was only me <br />I have the same problem and also have winXP with IE6 <br />The same things happens when i try to download anything and i just started coming here yesterday.
yes <br />thanx <br />i just am frustrated with microsoft because i know they have something to do with this. <br />those damn hot-fixes, does anyone know if they reall y work?

Man, this one´s a doosey. I too, like adni have absolutely no problems downloading or anything. It seems strange that you would also have that same problem with Opera... <br /> <br />I think posibly ou could try re-installing internet explorer... but i really can´t think of anything else to try besides what snowman and adni have already suggested. definitely clear your browser cache and all your temporary internet files. <br /> <br />::shrugs:: wish i could be of more help
This is strange! Everything works for me! <br />2 people with the same problem it must be a real problem, but why I have no problem...Strange! <br />
I have the same problem... 😢
lalka, Read the rest of the thread, they have a solution!!
FYI... I too am/was having this download problem. Here´s what I´m running: <br /> <br />Win XP - Home Edition, with the firewall enabled (only firewall running) <br />Netscape 7.1 <br /> <br />I switched over to IE 6 (which I never use... only for the XP updates) and walla... it downloads from there. <br /> <br />So I feel that the real problem hasn´t been completely solved here as I am running different software than those posted. <br /> <br />Sketch
