I'm a fan of the game "The Sims" and I like to download
things. Lately I've been getting an error when I download
things from the sites saying the .zip can't be opened,
but if I save it, I can open it fine. Another problem, is
when you download something, you get this screen asking
if you want to save/open the file, well I turned mine off
and now I can't figure out how to turn it back on, it's a
royal pain in the butt and when I go to right click on
something to save, it gives me an error. Anyone know how
to turn the saving thing back on?
 
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.
