I go to the GM website and then click the link to download. My system meets all the requirements. When I click the link all of a sudden it just freezes up my computer, and shows the arrow into a timer. Then I have to wait a while until it closes down the tab. Does anyone or any of the moderators know how I can fix this problem? I downloaded this before like 3 days ago on this same computer. Then I restored my computer and downloaded it again and it worked. then my dad took it off. Now I am trying to download it again and it's doing this.

Hi Tyler

I just checked the download, and it is working here, so it must be a issue on your side.

Can I ask you which browser you are currently using to try and download GM?

It maybe a idea to try using a different one to see if that helps.

Also can you try downloading something (anything) from else where to check if the problem is with all downloads or just GM.

Hey Tyler. If your computer is stuck on safe mode in order to work properly, it could be due to low memory. This can happen when programs don't fully close and continue to run some of there processes in the background. In order to completely stop a program, you can go into your windows task manager (displayed a line graph of activity and memory that looks like a sizemograph) to end these. On the "Processes" tab, it will display every single one running. You right click the inactive program and choose to end process. It will typically give a warning prompt that closing processes manually could cause program damage and loss of files in said program, like Internet Explorer. In my experience, this hasn't happened and I've cleared up my memory. Or you could just need more RAM. Hope this helps

Other possible is programs in the background hogging ram can be because there is too many unwanted and/or unnecessary things booting up with the pc.

By going to Start, then Run type in msconfig

then go to the startup tab

everything ticked in that section boots up with your pc, frequently a lot of programs end up in this list on installing them. So just remove any ticks by those you know you definitely do not want starting with ya comp.

After it will ask if you want to reboot or not. But on the next reboot you will get a window pop up informing you some settings were altered. If you tick the box it will not come up in future.

I'm on xp so vista and windows 7 maybe slightly different.

Great advice Trace. I've actually moved from PC to Mac.

WINDOWS TASK MANAGER! That's the name of the seismograph looking application that lets you adjust processes.
