Umm, whenever I try to download something using IE, it just opens a new window with the quicktime logo in the middle of the window. This forces me to right click and save target as, which doesnt work with all downloads. Why is it doing this?  
Thanks

Dunno for sure, but most likely a solution would be to uninstall quicktime from Control Panel, Add/Remove Programs, then go to Windows Update, download updates to IE, then go to [http://www.quicktime.com](http://www.quicktime.com) and get the newest version of quicktime.

Hope that helps.
