The links to the files are absolute, so my guess is these users either have some funny settings in thier IE 7, anti-virus programs, or some Norton firewall-like application. However if someone could have a look in IE 7 I would appreciate it.

Re: [WSG] IE & help
Thanks to all who responded. Some users have complained that when they go to this page http://www.fifeweb.org/wp/lib/lib_current.html and try to download the linked files with IE 7 they get a message stating something like "Explorer is unable to download the requested file" My Windows (server 2000) testing computer has IE 6 on it and all works fine. The links to the files are absolute, so my guess is these users either have some funny settings in thier IE 7, anti-virus programs, or some Norton firewall-like application.

RE: [WSG] IE & help
I have IE7 on Windows XP SP2 and all the Zip files download ok. Some of them contain Word documents, and the machine opens these in WordPad because I don't have Word on it. I get the error message "Unable to load graphics conversion filter", which is probably to be expected. The document still opens if I select Yes when prompted to continue. If I select No, I get a message "An unexpected error occurred...", which is actually to be expected. I don't have any 'funny settings', AV, firewall software or anything like that, and suspect your presumption is correct.
