security center

 
I  have windows xp ver 2002 service pack 2. Dell instlled.   I have windows security center off because it keeps me from downloading ftp files.I uninstalled Real playerand tried to instll but i get this message:"you security settings do not allow this file to be downloaded. "
I tried all the options that are in this forum concerning secirity settings with internet default settingas and custom defaulat settings,nothing works.
 
I also have a  problem playing bejeweled it hangs at downloading and installing newest version.

    are you using ie-spyad?  or, maybe "spybot" is adding ".real.com" to your "restricted sites" in internet explorer/tools/options/security..
     
    go to internet explorer/tools/options/security, and in "restricted sites", look for something like download.real.com (anything that is ".real.com") and remove it from "restricted sites".. that should allow you to download realplayer, if you are downloading it from the real website..
     
    where are you downloading "bejeweled" from? whatever website it is, do the same thing as above.. look to see if the website is in your restricted zone, in some fashion..
     
    another thing that can prevent you from using some websites is if you are using a host file that blocks the website, but that would not apply to your issue where it says that your security settings will not allow you to download a file from a website..

    I found IE acess, msn SmartTags, Zone Dialer, Msconect Dialer. IE Plugin,MsCache installer, Inernet Explorer Exploit, msninfonet and msn infonet.com in restricted sites.
    Why is it that my other users can acess zone games like Bejewled? Do you think Explorer is corrupted?

    i think the problem is one of two things, or both.. the website that you are having trouble with is in the restricted sites zone, or, you have the security settings for the "internet zone" set to "high", and the site that you are having trouble with has not been added to the "trusted sites" zone..
     
    you could try removing everything from the "restricted sites" zone, and restoring the default security settings for the "internet zone"..
     
    also, if you have cookies blocked, that can cause problems with using some websites..
     
    if you want to use high security settings for the internet zone, you will need to add some sites to the trusted sites zone in order for them to fully function properly (where the trusted sites zone is not also set to high security)..
