download problem

I'm running 98 se on a Dem. XPS 733r.  When downloading some content the Micr. Soft box asking me to save to disc or open comes up. After choosing either option the box starts to blink on and off and I have to hit Cont. Alt. Delete to get it to stop and it will not load. Sometimes I have to restart to get it to stop. Thank you for any help.

    eeesss,

    Thanks for using the Dell Community Forum.

    Can you tell us what you are downloading and if this happens with any program you download or just one in particular.

    It happens with documents such as downloading manuals, etc. Do not have problem with photos.

    I just now tried to download a printable spec sheet from Toshiba's web site for a TV. The box that shows your download progress (the green bar) came up and as soon as it was finished loading the dialog box started to blink and then another dialog box came up telling me the program had performed an illegal operation came up and when I clicked the box to acknowledge explored shut off. Sometime this happens and sometime the dialog box showing the progress barr will just start blinking on and off and I have to reset the computer.

    2/3 weeks for virus

    not for a long time for spyware

    I scanned for both tonight. Had no virus. One adware program that I have deleted.

    Still have problem.
