No SS2005 Express

I have SS 2005 express* working(yrs) on a XP home ver. laptop. I got a new Acer w/ Vista hm/premium and I registered/can't get SS 2005 express* to download from MSDN.

Norton's gives a file block, I click the 'download file' and nothing happens. No dialog, hd drv activity, nothing - just 'Done'

on IE7 status. I have Visual Web Developer beta v2 2008** running on the Acer and don't want to trash the install.

.NET fwrk v2.0 is listed required for SS2005, but .NET fwrk v3.5 says it includes v2.0 + WCF,...(right? - install both?)

I need a SS for VWD 2008. I've ask/tried several times. What am I doing wrong?

There are no blocks of any kind on the site that would prevent you from downloading the installer package for SQL Express, it's just a simple file download. The download does not check for anything at all. You should investigate if you have anything configured about Norton or Windows (IE?) that is stopping the download of certain types of files.
