Whenever I click a download link to download a .exe file in IE 5.5 or 6.0 nothing happens(no "save file to" dialog box appears). I get a blank page with a small icon in the left corner. I can dwnld other types of files, eg.,.zip,.txt with no problem. I do not have this problem with Netscape. My O/S is Win98SE.

a few questions... are you behind a network with a firewall? or is this one personal computer?
Are you running an antivirus software? If so you may want to check the settings. How is Internet explorer configured? You may want to switch your settings. You may want to try to run a repair on Internet Explorer.. to do this go to control panel and choose add/remove programs when prompted choose repair.
