This happens now with later versions of Internet Explorer, particularly in Windows XP systems with Service Pack 2 installed. It has to do with the pop-up blocking feature, which on those systems is enabled by default. Unfortunately, other than using the JAWS cursor to manipulate it, your only option is to turn it off.

I am suddenly getting the following message when I try to download items
from a website that I have been downloading from for months:

To help protect your security, Internet Explorer blocked this site from
downloading files to your computer. Click here for options...


When I click with the JAWS curser, I have the option to download the files, and I can, but if I close the webpage, I get the same message again when I reopen it. Any ideas what's wrong, and how to fix it?
