Right click for downloads does not active 'Save Target As...'

Question

My Inspiron is just about a month old and I've just now tried to download a sermon from our test area: http://fbccottondale.christianasp.net/sermons.aspx   The options that activate are:  Open, Open in New Window, Copy Shortcut, Add to Favorites, Google Search, Semd To, Page Info, Properties.   So, I tried other pages, thinking this new ASP might have a problem -- nope, the problem is on my machine.   Does anyone have a solution?   Thanks

Hi Blick_TX, Right-click on the download link and chose: 'Save Link As...' Gerry

My apologies.  I neglected to state that a right click opens the window with the listed Options:  Open, Open in New Window, Copy Shortcut, Add to Favorites, Google Search, Semd To, Page Info, Properties.   Saving, whether it be as file, link, whatever, is not an active option.  The inactive option I expected to see activated was:  'Save Target As...'   Any other ideas?

Wunnerful, wunnerful!!!!!  It works so very well!  :smileyvery-happy:OK, now that I've stopped jumping up and down after finding out that I'm not the only one who experienced the problem.   I'm just the only one that needs practice  in searching Microsoft!   Your help is so very much appreciated.   Thanks,   Blick
