When I attempt to download whether it be a small file of
about 500K or so or whether it be a one or five meg file
My "little computers" in the task bar flash solid green
however I never see a "open as" or "save as" or a progress
bar while the "little pcs in the taskbar" are sold green.
I have gone to security in internet options advanced and
checked the download option under both categories(don't
remember the names exactly)
Any and all help on how to resolve this issue will
surely be appreciated and thank you very much for the help.

Set the setting for each type of file.

You set this for each file type, e.g. for .zip
Explorer-View-Folder Options-File Types
Find the .zip association (may be WinZip File)
Edit, (or click Advanced on ME or XP) and check the "Confirm open
after download" box

The path to Folder Options may vary according to your operating
system. It may be:
Explorer-View-Folder Options
Explorer-Tools-Folder Options
Start-Settings-Folder Options
Start-Settings-Control Panel-Folder options.
