I recently upgraded from IE 5.0 to IE 6.0 and along with
this a download manager was installed. From this point on
I can't click on a download link (IE 6.0 SP1) and have the
option to Open/Save the file that's about to be
downloaded. When I click on the link, the only thing that
shows in a blank page and that little image icon in the
upper left.
If I right click on the link and pick "Save Target As",
then the file downloads. Has anyone heard of this problem.
 
The newly installed download program may have changed all of the
associations.

You set this for each file type, e.g. for .zip
Explorer-View-Folder Options-File Types
Find the .zip association (may be WinZip File)
Edit, (or click Advanced on ME or XP) and check the "Confirm open
after download" box

The path to Folder Options may vary according to your operating
system. It may be:
Explorer-View-Folder Options
Explorer-Tools-Folder Options
Start-Settings-Folder Options
Start-Settings-Control Panel-Folder options.
