For some time now I have been unable to download programs from websites other
than Microsoft.

When I click to download something from any other site a file opens but only
views the contents of where it should be saving the file. It does not give
me the option to save or run which is very frustrating.

I think it may be something to do with my certificates (probably wrong) but
I do not know how to resolve by adding new ones.

Please help as I am at the end of my tether.

What file type?

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.
