| Hi, I was wondering if anybody can help me with my problem. I bought the windows 7 program for my laptop on-line and i tried downloading it to my computer but it seems not to be working, i had it running for 4 hrs, and there was no progress and it kept on pausing and resuming on its own, it goes up to 4% and then totally starts the process again. Can anybody tell me what i can do about this? I have an HP pavillion dv4-1225dx laptop. Any help on how to download windows 7 would be greatly appreaciated. |

there has been a big problem with some of the ones bought online they are using a .box file type rather than an .iso file. This is causing a hang upon installation, if you got this type they are now going back and reissuing the .iso type.

| My spouse got a Windows 7 disk with here laptop which came loaded with vista. The disk took a couple of hours. I would think that a download might be quite frustrating. |

| i bought it from digital river, its a website that is an authorized reseller for microsoft, Im a student and my school directed me to this website in order to obtain it for 29.99 which is a great deal. Also they allow two type of downloads. ISO and EXE. I tried with the EXE. and its just not downloading what so ever. Im getting really frustrated, PLEASE HELP!!! |

| did you read my link that is where they were talking about in the article digital river. You will do much better with the iso file. check out the link it has good info. |

| Yeah, THANKS ALOT ravencajun, that was really helpful but im kinda scared of downloading iso since it would be a "clean" download, and from my understanding that means i will loose all apps. and other programs i already have, and it asks for me to turn of my antivirus and firewall off. Do you know if this is safe at all, i really wouldnt like to do that all. Also I emailed digital river with this concern and they told me to upgrade my browser, which i did, i upgraded to explorer 8 i dont know if that will help much but I will try once again tomorrow. If there are any other suggestions out there I would SERIOUSLY appreciate them. |
