    Whenever I try to download something off the internet, It turns out to be a little page with a internet explorer icon on it.. This happens with anything I download except for the files I can't open.. And how do I make it when I click on the ' Download Now ' button or whatever, how do I make it to give you the options on Open, Save as, Or Cancel..? I accidentally touched something and ruined it :|..

    Please help asap :P..

    So you're using IE eh? Maybe try tools -> Internet Options -> Advanced or whatever.. I haven't used IE forever.

    Ah, if it's really IMPORTANT, then dl firefox, use it, dl whatever you're doing then delete FX after.

    What're you downloading? A clickable link? If so, right click save as and save as the file you want like .rar or .exe, or etc.

    usually if its a link to a .rar or .exe or something that the browser cant play/open, it downloads it automaticly. save you want to download a video that always opens up in your broswer, then you just to what the kid said above. right click and hit 'Save Link Target As....' or at least thats what it is with mozilla. IE is probably 'save as...'
