by your CPU I'll assume you mean you computer. What do you mean you haven't ben able to D/L anything?(Technically you have ben on the Inet and D/L'ing ).

Are you haveing trouble with a program such as Kazaa?

No not Kazaa, just anything in general.

As Logan pointed out, you are downloading the webpages that you visit. So what exactly do you mean? Like when downloading programs or zip files, etc? What browser are you using? What happenes when you try to download things? Do you get an error? Or does nothing happen?

AOL - there's your problem.

What happens, do you click the link and get nothing?

Try right-clicking a link to a zip file or such and choose "save target as"(I don't know if AOL has this option).
