I am trying to get the Windows 7 90 Day trial. After I complete the required steps online, it lands on a page that says

'Please wait while the Download Manager begins your download' and other such msg, but then it does nothing.
It also says if this does not work then Download products using the Web Browser method. However not clear how to download using web browser.
Pl. advice.
Thx.

try a better download manager like Jdownloader or IDM (internet download manager ).Downloading 2.5 gb win7 via web browser method doesnt seem to me as a good option.

try download accelater plus (DAP) but i don't like inastalling it via browser download as it takes much longer and if download fails then the whole file is corrupted it would be better if you get A torrent link or sought a disk containing it.

My personal fav is IDM (internet download manager).
It also boosts the speed of download.

Looks like a problem with your download manager. Uninstall your Current Download Manager,then download through your web browser or reinstall download manager then try gain. It should work.

You can try this, start your download in opera. IN the downloads tab, look at the bottom, there is a field named from: copy this link & paste it in the download manager like DAP. Once the download starts in DAP, remove the download from opera.

@op,
Which browser are you using? If not IE, then please try using IE. Because sometimes M$ websites don't work well on other (modern) browsers. :p
