 * Hi,
 * I just installed wp and it appears to be running fine. One of the first things
   I like to do in a new installation is download the Tool > Import > WordPress (
   import/export tool). However clicking it just goes to a download pop up that 
   never closes or installs it. What am I doing wrong?

 * I am not sure why it is not working but this is where the pop-up would take you.

 * Thank you so much for the link. I installed it manually but as soon as I click
   activate it just goes to a blank page. Perhaps since I am just setting up again
   and the domain is not fully functional could be the problem. I will patiently
   wait and respond back if there are further problems. Thanks again for the speedy
   help.

 * Thank you! After a quick reboot, that solved it.
