I think lido is right. It's probably your firewall and antivirus applications causing the problem. When the yellow bar appears and asks you if you want to allow this download, click on it, and proceed from there.
By the way travler, thank you for the laugh, you are so right on! You made my day!! When in doubt, ask a kid. They know more at 10 or 12 about computers, than we'll ever know. Thanks again!
