Issues when downloading files from IIS5.1 running on Win XP Professional SP1 with IE6

I have a very strage issue eversince I upgraded my computer to Win XP.
My ASP 3.0 based web application works correctly, all browser requests
for asp's or html's are handled, but when I try to download a zip,
exe, ... and a couple of other types of files that are staticaly kept
on the server ... Internet Explorer 6 immediately gives out a "Could
not download the file ..." error. To my surpise, when I try to
download with Mozilla .... it works ! I've tried just about everything
( registering MIME types on IIS, changing access permissions, changing
the server authentification method, ... ) but couldn't come through.

I've seen posts that are related to this problem but didn't find any
solution ; any suggestions ?

I'm running IIS 5.1 on Win XP SP1.
Other computers on my LAN running IE6 on Win 2000 don't experience the
problem.

Check the browsers security settings (Tools > Internet Options > =
Security)
