Ok... example. When I attempt to download a game from Yahoo! a window opens stating,

"You have chosen to open 

            yahoo_ballville_tm6-6.exe
            which is a:  Binary File
            from:  http://h.yimg.com

Would you like to save this file? 

                                                                   Save File         Cancel

When I hit "Save File", the Downloads window pops up stating, 

         yahoo_ballville_tm6-6.exe
         Canceled  -  ying.com

If I right-click on the download message I have the options to: Retry, Copy Download Link, Select All, Remove From List.

When I hit retry, it appears to be downloading, however, when I go to the download file and double-click on the download for it to install, I get another whole different message:

C:\Documents and Settings\Jeff\My Documents\Downloads\yahoo_ballville_tm6-6.exe is not a valid Win32 application.

So, can anyone tell me what's wrong? I have downloaded games before, but all of a sudden I can't.

Thanks!
