Dear combattuk (http://virtualcustoms.net/member.php/285394-combattuk), welcome to Virtual Customs, enjoy your stay with us, browse our forum and have fun, if you need any help feel free to ask like you did here.
About your situation let's go step by step:
1. You say you follow some tutorial did you talk about this one: http://virtualcustoms.net/showthread.php/65613-How-to-install-and-setup-your-customization-applications-on-Windows-8-1-1
2. About downloading content from this site, propably it's eather your internet browser or Antivirus/security center software, so eather disable temporerly antivirus software or change internet browser to some other!
3. Also will be nice that you make screenshot of your problem so me and others can see what's really going on your OS! :peace:

That's the tutorial I followed.

also im using the standard windows 8.1 internet explorer and my windows firewall is disabled but my mcafee is enabled.

iv taken a screen shot I try upload It I get as far as the upload on here choose the file from my computer desktop click upload then it just comes back to my reply to thread box

ignor my above statement the screen shot uploaded lol

[combattuk]

The fading of the txt gets alot worse then in the above screen shot it gets to the point where it fades completely

every download I try from this site gets downloaded as a php file even when I right click property it says its a php file

any help would be very appreciated

Here you go:
1. To fix php download issue with this site, install on your OS Firefox or Google Chrome as default web browser. This is not first time that some users with IE have this issues!
2. To fix your blended text problem, you need to disable Black Glass Enhanced application, cause when you use Glassy/transparent windows explorer on white windows color background it will look the way it looks on your OS! Use that application only if you use Dark Custom Windows Themes!
This case is closed! :Peace:

you called it closed before the op said everything was fixed and working. idle (http://virtualcustoms.net/member.php/243562-idle) you're not funny in the least.

Dear friends,

We're all here to help. If the op has any issues, I'm sure he/she will write back. So, till then let's chill, as, on the +ve side, the browser issue seems to have been fixed :)
BTW, I need help as well; I'm trying to record my desktop to post it here (a video recording), so any pointers to any relevant s/w that would help me accomplish my task would be highly appreciated.

TIA and cheers,
AC
Keep smiling:peace:
