Does Windows 7 PREVENT Iso downloads?

This is the 3rd time this has happened and the reason I am asking. On my windows 7 system, I have tried to download an .iso file and notice that windows 7 nothing happens and when I tried to burn some image files, the same thing and wondering if there was some sort of protection weird thing new invention or something.

I have no trouble downloading or burning in XP though.
I remember reading that the new OS in a few years (and that was a few years ago) that stuff like this (sneaky protection snoop stuff) was built into the OS. Is this true or do I have something going wrong? Thx

You must have something wrong as I have no problems downloading ISO's or Burning them. I use Bitcomet for my downloads and PowerISO for burning them.

Are you trying to burn iso's with the built in windows 7 iso burner? Mine works just fine in burning and verifying them.

Burn Disc Image - ISO or IMG file

Hmm. Maybe its Chrome? I use it all the time but weird stuff like live email will not work.
Used browsers for a long time and Chrome by far is the fastest and cleanest for me.

I will try it with IE. Still doesn't explain the non burning though. Can't get it to work right.

Are you all able to burn with Windows 7?
Thx.
