Sorry Adrian (and the list), I didn't send to 'reply list' You are
correct that other users can help....
OK, I'll take your advice and try with another browser. I have been
long enough in the software business to remember when Google started!!
I never used it then and don't know if I can avoid it, too much
nagging to spend money....
I have messaged Avast to see whether I can 'suspend' it and see if
that works.
I cannot understand why I am unable to install a new version, the app
disappeared, the GNU files are still there, but I cannot get at them,
a bit of a pain as I am at yearend.....
But... using Firefox On 01/01/2026 19:28, Adrien Monteleone wrote:
That is the same message I got before the Vivaldi message came up.

Barrym,
You've been on this list a long time. Please remember to reply to the
list or reply-all. I'm copying your message here as someone might be
able to help further.

I don't use Vivaldi regularly, but do have it installed on my Mac.
I tested using it on SourceForge and something is wrong with their
pages (even the direct ones) as they simply drop into an infinite
re-loading loop for me. (as does the green download counter-wheel icon)
I was able to successfully download from GitHub using Vivaldi without
incident.
My guess on the error message you sent a screenshot of, is that you
are trying to download to a location that you don't have permission
to save to. If you are not saving the file to your Downloads folder,
try that. If you already are, I'm not sure what is wrong but it seems
your Windows user permissions are a mess.
First, I'd try with a different browser such as Edge or Firefox. (I
can also attest that Firefox works for me)
If those don't work, or give the same error, then create another
Windows user and see if that works.
Regards,
Adrien

I got the 24/12 message and this is the reaction when I tried to
install the .exe file using the Github option.

It gave the path..... my 'downloads' the date is [presumably] the
date I first tried to install it
There was more but Vivaldi (my browser) overwrote it with the
message above.
Sorry for the delay in delivering the screenshot.
