Internet Explorer download box replaced by quicktime logo

[irateman]

One day I tried to download an exe in ie5 and instead of the usual download dialogue box asking 'run' or 'save' and 'to where?', the four-colour quitime logo apeared in the center of the screen. the download continued but to where?
i uninstalled qt and tried again but it just diplayed the active-x logo in the top left and said 'cannot locate active-x for ' and the filename i was downloading.
WHAT!? I want my downlaod box back!
