    Cannot download drivers

    Hello there all. Im new here but I did find some good stuff. I hope i am in the correct catagory for my problem. My problem I have now is that I cannot download any drivers for my Compaq laptops (n1020v and n410c) from HP website. The file opens, but nothing is being transferred. Has anyone else experience this before or know of any other place where I could download identical or similar drivers? All help would be appreciated.

    the site seems to work fine for me, (US Global) are you choosing open, or save as, you should choose save as and save them to your desktop, then run them when they finish...

    You didn't mention which version of Windows you're using.

    If WinXP and SP2, you might want to read up on Downloads Fail and Security Warnings Appear after Installing Service Pack 2 for Windows XP

    It specifically talks about problems with downloading from HP's website.

    Hope this helps out.

    With service pack 2? Then you should read the fix Don posted above
    Never, ever approach a computer saying or even thinking "I will just do this quickly."
