IDM tries to do a first-run connection test on Win XP/7. The connection test is
successful in Win XP/7.

I believe that the connection test is that download queued in the main IDM GUI
window. The reason being when first-run connection test is successful on Win
XP/7, there is no download queued in the main IDM GUI window. As such, when the
connection test is successful, the test download is deleted from the queue.

The looping series of dialog, is because IDM thinks a Firewall is blocking it,
so the reasoning behind it is probably, first to alert the user that Firewall
is blocking IDM, and second to allow the user to click Check to test the
Internet connection, if test fails, it alerts user again, and so on until you
click Cancel, and then you are able to see the main IDM GUI window.
