Internet Explorer Problem in Vista

[glenn925]

I have been having a problem with IE on my Vista computer. I can access the internet just fine, but I can't download/open files. For instance, I go to Firefox to download it. Everything looks like it is downloading fine, but when it is done, there is no file. I have tried to both "save" and "run" the download & neither work. Both end the process like it is working fine, but then nothing happens. When I am on AOL through IE, I try to open an attached file & same thing happens. It runs like it is going to open, but then nothing happens. I can't switch to a different browser because I can't download it to get it working on my computer. HELP.

And that's where the problem seems to be, an apparent conflict between the
two browsers.
Exactly the reason why I am reluctant to activate my Firefox: for fear of
interference.
Should this fear be unfounded, I'ld be open for suggestions to the contrary.
