Unable to download ANYTHING

Hi, I'm beginning to think I made a real bad mistake installing Vista RC1.
Not only is it much slower than XP Professional but the main problem is I
can't download any file. I've tried downloading from both MS website and
third party websites and all it does is hang in "getting file information".
Never gets to "Run/Save" etc. Does anyone know a fix for this?

RE: Unable to download ANYTHING

Never mind. Unchecked Protected Mode and it's working fine. Do I have to
uncheck Protected Mode everytime I download a file. What a PITA! I sure
hope that MS figures this one out before they release this to the mass market!
