Hi --

We have some files available for download on our website, including exes 
that are self-extracting zip files, and windows doc files.

When I click on the links I get displays like:

invalid block: ‡úúú ïYYë²GGÉŽðð û­­ìAÔÔg³¢¢ý_¯¯êEœœ¿#¤¤÷Srr-äÀÀ[>**Âuýý

Instead of being prompted to save the file to disk.

I assume we have something set wrong in either the HTTPD.conf or the 
html tags.

Trying to google for apache downloads is not very useful. 

I'd appreciate any suggestions.

Thanks
