Can't download attachments on Hotmail

My PC is having problems downloading Hotmail attachments(pdf, xl, word) The box opens, and says "Getting file information" and the file slowly goes across from left to right. There is no loading bar, or info as to how long the download will take. It's the same with Yahoo as well, I've got XP Pro and IE 7, never had problems until recently. Any ideas what is wrong? Should I upgrade to IE 8 or 9? Ta.

You should definately update to IE8 if you're still running IE7. IE9 isn't available for Windows XP.

 

Do you have a virus scanner installed?

 

What happens if you right click the link and choose "Save Target As..."?
