Web Player Issue

I had to purchase a new laptop with XP running IE 6.0.  I am unable to download

the 2004 web player due to the following error:

 Error downloading content file.
 Internal error: Time out.
 
http://download.macromedia.com/pub/authorware/authorware_player/webplr04/win/web

plr.aab

 When I click OK to close the error box, I then get a pink Error Loading 
message with pink progress bar.

 Any suggestions?

Additional info...  Finally, I get a Plugin LaunchApp message as follows:

   "The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another

process."

 The download window is the only window being used at the time.
