HELP!!

I am having a heck of a problem with Windows 7 in trying to download and
extract the k3fw3r68 zip file to update my K3.  It must be a Win 7 issue
because I did not have the problem with XP

First problem is I cannot not even download it to a folder.  I go to the FTP
website, click on the zip file and that opens up the File download window.
Then I click on SAVE, that gives me the save as window with the file name
k3fw3r68.  For lack of a better place, I just tried to save it to COMPUTER/
Local Disk C:,   I click on SAVE and it runs through the save routine, and
the window closes (does not stay open to ask me if I want to OPEN or OPEN
FOLDER);  but when I check on local Disk C, there is no folder there.

Can't even save the darn file to a flash drive.

On my other computer, I was able to save the file to flash drive and then
transfer it to the computer I am running the K3 on.

However when I try and extract the files (unzip) I have no luck at all.

What am I doing wrong with Windows 7?
