Download won't launch

I'm working in a new install of OSX 10.5.7, and all updates have been done. I'm guessing I'm overlooking something simple here.
I'm using Safari and am at the Microsoft MSDN website, trying to download an ISO from their library. When I click on the download icon, a small postage-stamp size window pops up in the upper left corner. There's a lock on that window, and when I click on the lock, it simply opens up a dialog box containing the security certificate for msdn.microsoft.com. I click OK on that box, and it reverts back to the postage-stamp size window. Meanwhile, no download of the requested file occurs. For each subsequent click of the download icon at the msdn website, I simply get another postage-stamp size window in the upper left corner.
I know I could simply download another make of browser and probably not have this issue, but I'd like to solve this if I could. What stupid thing am I not doing?
Thanks.

Starman, I'm sorry to waste your time. I had been assured by my employer that our MSDN subscriptions were going to be renewed, but I just checked the subscription status and it shows that it expired July 1st. I had just used it right before the 1st, and I was thinking it didn't expire until the end of July. That would probably explain it, huh? It's weird though, that I'm not getting the grayed-out icons. Again, sorry to waste your time. Thanks. Joe

    Hi,
    Install the v10.6.6 combo update available here. It's ok to do this even though you are already running v10.6.6. The combo includes fixes that were not included in the original update.

    Restart your Mac and try the MAS again.
    You can download apps directly from the MAS once you have it running.
    Considering the TM backup took so long, make sure there's enough space on your Mac startup disk.
    Right or control click the MacintoshHD icon. Click Get Info. In the Get Info window you will see Capacity and Available. *Make sure you always have a minimum of 15% free disk space.*

  • Trial download won't launch.

    I have downloaded the Lightroom trial.  The download said it was successful but will not launch.  There is an error message - 0xc050004 - which tells me to terminate the application.  When I do, Windows tries to look for a solution but can't and tells me to close the program.  I have Windows Vista and have already loaded other software onto my computer, including Photoshop Elements 7, with no problems at all.  Does anyone have any idea what might be going wrong?  Any help much appreciated.

  • Flash Player download won't launch

    On http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/ when I click on the download and install button the timer bar runs for a second or two as if downloading but then returns me to the download page and stops. I imagine that it should go into the install routine automatically but it doesn't. There are no instructions to suggest that the system is waiting for user input. I am using Explorer 6 on Win2K.
    Any ideas? I have two applications that I need but which require Flash to operate. Help would be very much appreciated.

    Download the offline ActiveX installer http://fpdownload.adobe.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player_ax.exe; save it to disk, then close all browser windows and run the downloaded installer.

  • HT5654 iTunes auto update downloaded and installed on 28/01/2014. iTunes now won't launch and error message states file MSVCR80.dll is missing. Tried uninstalling and downloading/installing again to no avail. Any clues?

    iTunes auto-update dowloaded and installed on 28/01/2014. iTunes now won't launch and error message states file MSVCR80.dll is missing. Tried unistalling and downloading/installing again to no avail.  Any clues?

    Click here and follow the instructions. You may need to completely remove and reinstall iTunes and all related components, or run the process multiple times; this won't normally affect its library, but that should be backed up anyway.

    This means that you are trying to open an online PDF in a browser that doesn't use the Adobe Reader plugin; see http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/pdf-browser-plugin-configuration.html
    Either:
    download the PDF to your local disk and open it from there
    use a browser that uses the Adobe Reader plugin
    configure your browser to use the Adobe Reader plugin

  • Some apps won't launch after downloading

    I've downloaded and "successfully" installed some applications from the cloud according to the application manager. Bridge, Ai; Id; Muse and Ps will launch without a problem, however Pr family products; Dw; Ae; and Media Encoder  won't launch. All except Dw at least get a splash screen and then crash, Dw just goes nowhere. I've uninstalled the later apps using the uninstaller and tried re-downloading Dw but still doesn't work. What's going on here?

  • Safari won't launch after 3.1.1. download mistake

    safari won't launch after download of 3.1.1 by mistake I only have OS 10.3.9.
    mail won't relaunch either, i downloaded camino it won't launch either, my fire fox works but i can't get to my mail. How do I clean up this mess.

    Mail relies on WebKit for rendering, so it may have problems even after you got rid of the old Safari. I would try download the Mac OS X 10.3.9 Combo Update, and that should update WebKit and everything else for you. It's a 117 MB download, including all the extra languages.
    As for upgrading to 10.4.11, that's a completely new version of Mac OS X compared to your current version. It's faster, has more features, and you can actually run Safari 3.1.1 on it. It's not sold by Apple anymore, but various retailers have unsold copies still available. You might want to check around locally for a "Retail" (boxed) copy, or even on eBay for the same thing. Don't even think about buying a cheap copy for a laptop, since those are specific to those machines; you always want the full boxed copy.

  • My downloaded aps won't launch on iPad

    I hooked up to my work computer today and I've never done that before so it asked me to sync iTunes, I thought I declined but I was tethering using iBooks... Now none of my downloaded aps will launch.  I'm on the iPad 3

    Try downloading any free app from the store (as that appears to reset something) and then re-try them - the free app can then be deleted.
