I seem not able to download zip files in IE 6 on some computers running
windows XP
the download box dont appear and file is not downloaded I just just get a
blank screen
any other extension I try works fine I have to use Netscape 7.2 to download
any zip file which works fine

Are you using WinXP's native zip handling, or have you installed another
program associated with .zip files like WinZip?

If not, try this - Start...Run, type "regsvr32 zipfldr.dll" (no quotes,
click Okay)

Check your .zip file types settings - My Computer...Tools....Folder
Options...File Types tab. Make sure the "Confirm open...." box is checked.

I think I will use the Netscape browser for downloading zip files since it works in Netscape.
