downloads won't complete

Hi,
I have a problem since I did an update yesterday of Java. I cannot download anything properly, for instance I have 3 downloads from Audible none of which completed. I tried to download Advanced Windows Care 3 from the Geeks but got the message "Failed to set Data for Advanced Window Care 3",
After which the initializing box just hung there for ever, so in desperation I pulled the plug. I went into Add & Remove programs and removed Java, but apparently it is still in there somewhere. I was wondering if using a system restore would solve the problem, but never having done it I need some reassurance that it is the right thing to do. I have no important data to lose, so advice would be welcome . I am using XP pro, SP2
thanks

 

Yes, Try a Restore point back to a date before you installed the java update.

That should sort it out for you.

 

thanks for the support. I did a restore which was fine but problem still persists. I will think about it tomorrow

 

thanks Halo, I used JavaRa as suggested, but I still cant download my audiobooks. It must be a problem at the other end. I was able to download and install a little program from the toy list, using run etc. just as a test as I have never had a problem before so I must be okay as an administrator. I have emailed Audible so am awaiting developments.
thanks to you and Wildwolf. What would we all do without the help from this site, I shudder to think.

 

hi,
Just in case anyone else has a problems with downloads I found the problem was with the Hotfix KB951748. It caused some sort of issue with Zone Alarm so I axed it and my downloads suddenly went back to normal.

 

what did you axe, ZA or the hotfix. Here's a hotter fix :-D
