Are you prevented from doing due to some sort of restriction?

Do you get an error message?

Does nothing at all occur when you click on "Download"?

Try these steps...........

1. Click tools
2. Click internet options
3. Click privacy tab
4. In the web sites area, click edit
5. In the address of web site textbox, paste
http://officeupdate.microsoft.com/templategallery/
6.Click allow
7.Click OK
8. Click apply
9.Exit ie and restart system

After restarting your computer, try going to the template gallery and it
should work.
