Hello & welcome

As you can't download anything, try this:

RUN>cmd (as administrator in Vista) and type:
sfc /scannow
When you press enter it will check your system and attempt to repair any corrupt files.
BTW: System specs and Operating System?

Ok, can you download everthing from another PC to a USB key and install it on the bad PC?
