I'm pretty much a computer flunkie, but ... since it installed OK on the laptop, isn't there some way to export that program to your PC from the laptop ?? CD disk, flash drive, USB port connection ??
Just "sounds" to me like there's something in the PC that's disrupting the download flow, that didn't happen with the laptop. I doubt it's Vista's fault, as most everything that was incompatible with Vista has long since disappeared from the market. I run Vista Home Prem 32bit, and have no problems downloading most anything I care to have on my PC.
I don't, however, use the uninstaller of programs I want to delete. They never seem to completely remove all of the files. Instead, I have CCleaner installed ... and use its uninstall program, and it removes every speck of the program files.
Which HBPC are you trying to download ?? 3.0.26 or 2.5.8 ?? I'd be happy to download either of them on my PC, to insure that Vista is not the culprit.
