Problem downloading files - "File Download" dialog box briefly flashes before disappearing

Hi all.

Occasionally when right-clicking on a link to a file and choosing "Save
Target As...", the resulting "File Download" pop-up dialog box (ie the one
before being prompted where to save the file) very briefly flashes on-screen
before disappearing again. The subsequent prompt dialog then never appears,
so basically I can't download the file.

To get around this, I have to delete all temporary internet files (via
tools->options), and restart IE. Sometimes it then works fine, other time
not (and I have to delete all temp internet files again and repeat the
process).

Help is appreciated.

Thanks.
