I received a "Failed to Connect" error when I tried to install today's GoldWaveEditorPro software. Any idea what the problem might be. I've got a good wireless internet connection with internet and email working well.

Thanks........Toby

It's likely just server congestion on GOTDs end. I hope you'll keep trying. Sometimes it's scripting changes. You might try another browser, if you have one. You might check your java. The latest is 6.13. However, that's controversial. Some people hate java and say never install, you can get along without it, that you can get along with just the basic capability that comes with the browser. I'm not in love with it myself, and it technically can be hacked, although there's not much evidence of massive java hacks. If your AVs up to date, you're likely safe. However, I find too many developers use it, and it's hard to browse the web consistently without the latest. Good luck.
