Vista - IE 7 won't allow downloads from email

I have just bought a laptop with Vista installed (Yeah, I know), and it came
pre-loaded with IE7.0.6001.18000. When I am on the net to download WIN
updates or Norton updates no problem. I have an email telling me to click on
a link and download a copy of some software I bought today. When I click on
the link instead of going to the site I get an immediate download menu and
asked to save or run it. I've clicked both ways. The problem is that after I
click on either run or save the download commences and then this error from
WIN states "Internet Explorer cannot download Algebrator401Install.exe from
www.algebra-online.com. An internal error occurred in the Microsoft Internet
extensions."

I have changed the security settings to enable downloads and some of the
advanced settings to allow for downloads but still keep getting this error
message. I am running a Sony laptop with WIN Vista Home Premium, have a
Pentium(R) Dual CPU at 1.87 GHz with 2 GB of Ram.

I need to download this puppy as it is only on my PC and I am leaving town
for three months and need it for my online school while I'm away. Please
help. I have been in the communities for about four hours researching this
issue and nothing close to it has shown up yet. I did do my research before
posting so I think this is a first. Thanks again. Steven

It appears that your research did not include finding an appropriate group
for your question. This is a .NET programming group, not an IE group.

Here's how to find the group you need:

As you appear to be using a web interface:

http://www.microsoft.com/communities...s/default.aspx

Click the + beside your language. then scroll down to Windows. In Windows,
find the category for Internet Explorer. Open it and find a group to post
in.

Do you sit up all night to respond with assine statements? Thanks for not
helping you ass!

He did help you. He told you you're in the wrong group, and you should
find a group where people might know the answer to your question.
