Odd thing when I try to download any file

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.perform_maintain (More info?)

Hi, I have a dell PC with Windows XP installed. I am using a DSL through SBC
Yahoo. I have the firewall installed, norton anti-virus, and a router from
linksys.

Ok, here's my question: Everytime I go to download a file, and I pick the
"open" option, instead of the save option (on a jpeg photo for example), it
goes through the motion, but nothing opens? I have to always save the file
first, and then go back and open it. Why is this happening? I just started
doing this about 2 months ago, and I've been using all hardware above for at
least a year. It also screws with my trying to download transactions for
Microsoft Money, they never appear?? What gives??

Thanks,
Mike
