Hi all.

I bought a new computer and built it and installed Vista.

Now for some reason I can download but I can't open the downloads. This happens in Mozilla. I can't click on "open" and when I have them go to the desktop they go as .exe.part files. Nothing is working.

And I try in IE and set the download to go to the desktop. But nothing happens once it is done downloading. The file just vanishes.

Any suggestions?

Control Panel => Internet Options => Security tab

Select 'Internet Zone' and click the 'Custom Level' button and scroll down to the Miscellaneous group. There is an item called "Launching Applications and Unsafe Files" - Make sure it's set to "Prompt" and not to "Disable"

Click OK, and try does that work.
