Download and "RUN" - "Windows cannot access specified device, path

Infoman

"...you may not have appropriate permissions....".

Funny thing is, this just started recently. SAVING the download works fine;
it just won't allow me to OPEN/RUN a download. And I had admin rights (my
own pc) and I am virus/spyware free.

Windows XP HOME, IE 7.0.

Wasn't exactly sure where to post this, so I started here.

Anyone have any ideas on this? Not a biggied, but frustrating, nonetheless.

Thanks!

Andy

What program are you trying to run? Is it an Active-X control, installer, a
script? Security options may be set to prevent such programs from running on
your machine.

Well, I should have checked this from the start - I have determined that this
is an issue with my firewall - ZONEALARM PRO, so I am contacting them.

Thanks for the help!
