Okay, so I have been trying to download different systems onto my computer, which has Microsoft Vista, but unfortunately, I can never get the download to finish. It goes about 1-2% and never finishes. At first I thought it was because of a slow wireless internet connection, so I lugged my computer upstairs and actually plugged it in to the actual router. Even this did not allow me to download. I'm wondering if there is something that needs to be turned on or off for this to work. Very frustrating because I just bought this computer and I can't do anything with it except surf the internet. If anyone could help, I would be grateful.

Like iTunes, AVG, Adobe...etc, those are just a few that I have tried.

To begin, load Internet Explorer. 
Click Tools->Internet Options->Security 
Once on that page, you’ll need to go through each of the options 
Internet, Local Intranet, Trusted sites, and Restricted sites and reset them to Default 
Level.
Click Apply. 
In order to ensure that IE is allowing downloads, 
click on the Internet icon and then Custom Level. Scroll down a bit in the Zone Settings 
dialog and make sure that File Download is set to Enable.
Click OK once you’ve ensured that File Downloads are enabled.

You’ll also want to double-check the Trusted sites and Restricted sites lists to 
make sure there aren’t any sites in either of them that you don’t want to be there.

If for some reason that doesn’t work, you can always download FireFox from a different 
computer, copy it onto a USB drive, and then install it on your current system. 
You may also want to scan for viruses to make sure that some malware isn’t messing 
with your settings.
