Your new IE pop-up blocker is probably stopping the download prompt. In IE
go to tools -- pop-up blocker to configure it.

thanks for the quick response but I already stopped pop-up blocker and
turned off the security center stuff...but to no avail

Sure it isn't a firewall problem?

no..I turned off all the security centre stuff as I use Zone Alarm pro...the
prob only started after installing SP2..I've checked IE settings an all is
in the right place
 
You might want to check 2 things: Make sure Zone Alarm did not create a rule
to dis-allow you to download. I had a problem after installing sp2 that
Norton Firewall created a rule to not allow the World Wide Web Publishing
service to start.
Check also to make sure the BITS service is running.
