It's also worth checking if you have a orphaned download handler entry in
the registry which is causing the behavior. Disable or uninstall any
download managers if you've installed any. To verify if there are any
remnant download hooks in the system, try the advice here: http://windowsxp.mvps.org/ie/downloadmgrs.htm
If these steps do not resolve your problem, or you need help with the above,
please post back to this thread with the details and any error messages.
Hope this helps

seem to address my situation. The error message is "http error 403 -
forbidden" and I have set IE to accept cookies. Any other ideas?
You don't mention if you are getting any error messages, or what they are,
so I am only able to guess at what is causing the problem. Try this and see
if it helps:
