Hi Martin,

1) Using Internet Explorer (the only one I have)

2) Tried both (A) and (B). Same result.

3) Tried renaming to .exe and same result (doesn't recognize file type). 
Tried downloading both 3 times.

4) Yes. Have tar archiver. Don't get far enough to use it.

5) Will try downloading opera and 7zip. See what happens.

TKS much.
