"Download Cancelled" I am not running vista, help please.

[Velius2820]

<p>I just reinstalled EQ2 and was patching all my expansions and adventure packs in when it suddenly stopped and gave me a download cancelled.  I attempted to restart the download but it just cancels after about 5 seconds.  I have googled my heart out trying to find a solution to this problem, but it seems everyone experiencing this is on vista, so their fixes do not work for me (windows XP).</p><p>At the moment I tried a small fix by switching to EU and downloading and it has about 3 hours left but there is no telling when it could cancel so I thought I should make this thread anyway.</p><p>You should know that I have no firewall running and have never had any problems running EQ2 before this.</p><p>Thank you for any help I can get on this, I will really appreciate it.</p>

Navigate to the Sony folder (Default: C:Program FilesSony)2. Right click the 'Sony' folder and select 'properties'3. Go to the 'General' tab4. Uncheck the box that says 'read-only' at the bottom of that window5. Select 'apply to all files/folders' when prompted</p>
