Whenever I download a ZIP file, it just downloads it without asking me where I want to save it or open it. What can I do? I have IE6 SP1...

Sry GeForce, your first suggestion didn't work 
...I don't really want to install more stuff on my computer, I've downloaded enough 2day, but maybe some1 else can help me out!

OK Gamehead try this.
Open windows explorer and go to Tools > Folder Options.On the File Types tab scroll down the bottom of the list to "ZIP".Click to highlight it and then hit the Advanced button.Put a tick in Confirm open after download and click OK.Then close the Folder options window.
Now when you download a ZIP file it should ask you where to save it.
