You mention getting "save the target" dialogs that aren't working when trying to save the help file. The only way I know to get that dialog is to right-click. But in the case of CodePlex, you need to left-click to save files.
On my Windows 7 machines, when I left-click on http://vfpx.codeplex.com/downloads/get/861801 in this email chain, my default browser (Chrome) gives me Save/Save as options in the form of a Windows Explorer window. I get the same (albeit after a three second delay) if I paste that link into the Chrome address bar.
If I paste it into IE, then I get a save dialog at the bottom of the window that provides the same ability to save the compressed help file.
So what happens when you left-click the above link or paste that URL into your browser's address bar?

I tried clicking the link, Jan...same as the "save the target" comment above. </snip>
