  • as a matter of interest are you using IE or Firefox as your browser?

    Did you click on the bar at the top of your browser page, if you are using IE on XP to allow downloads

    Also
    , if you are using IE7, Go to Tools | Internet Options | Security tab,

    click Internet
    Click Custom level
    Scroll down to Downloads
    Check that File Download is enabled
    If it isn't, put a check mark in it, click Apply then OK
