I just googled the names of a few nearby hospitals along with the keyword "administration". They all gave me the names and phones of the operating and information systems chiefs along with a bunch of other wigs. You might try the same thing to get someone there to help unblock the redirection downloads.

Ok .... just tried to do adobe flash player from adobe. No joy. Search for flash player no redirect - bam download no problem. Wtf. Is there a setting for this?

>>>bam download no problem>>>

What does this mean?

It means when I went to a no redirect site I could dl w/o problems

So happy right now! Traced it to the McAfee internet security package I never authenticated ... seems it was hung after I removed the search bar from IE and it still wanted to validate ... tried to uninstall from control panel and it hung repeatedly ... after some searching found a McAfee removal tool which thankfully I was able to dl ... now working like lightning ... hello NETFLIX!!!

Congrats, man! I use McAfee's standalone Stinger freeware rather than running any fulltime backgrounders that're usually more trouble than they're worth as you now know. Just hafta be more careful about willy-nilly clicking on links and opening downloads without first checking them out.

The McAfee internet crap was on there when I got the aspire ... never authenticated it because - aside from antivirus - these kinda things are just a money grab
