hey, thanks for your help!
I set htm files to be opened with Internet Explorer like that thread suggested, but that hasn't fixed my problem. Now, instead of popping up with a blank notepad file, it pops up with a browser screen but still doesn't download anything. It's probably just something stupid that I'm missing because I'm computer retarded though.
Maybe I should just uninstall and reinstall it and maybe it'll just magically fix itself...
