Default "this internet shortcut cannot be opened because failed to run"

Please help me understand and fix this problem. When I
download a program from the net. (even sefextracting
programs) I get this error message when I click on it and
try to get it to run; "this internet shortcut cannot be
opened because failed to run"
I have ewindows ME. I am currently running netscape
navagator. (I only recently had this problem) I have a
corporate version of norton antivirus which is currently
updated, I run spybot and adaware to keep spyware off of my
computer.
I was told that I might be missing a file in the internet
folder group so then In an attempt to fix this problem I
loaded internet explorer 6.0 which cannot see my internet
provider Comcast. (I am running a wireless router Linksys).
Netsace sees my provider but explorer cannot detect the lan
settings. I am completely frustrated. Does anyone know of a
fix besides droppingmy computer out of a window?

In Netscape, right click the download link and choose
" Save Link as " ... which version of Netscape are you using ?
