well it’s not really a problem. it may be just that you don’t have any programs that will run the type of file you’re trying to download. can you give the extension of the file you’re downloading? with zips, make sure you have winzip or some other compatible compression program to open it up.

In the open with dialog there should be a box you can chack that says always use this program to open this file type. Check that and it should work for you. If not its regedit time. =0)
