All of a sudden, I can't save files downloaded from the internet.?

Using Vista HP 32. When I try to save a downloaded file, it downloads [I monitored the folder I'm saving it to], but when the download is complete the file disappears from the folder.

I use Firefox & IE and it happens in both.

My computer has a dual boot setup, I use XP just for gaming. I can boot to XP and download a file to the same folder and it works just fine, and it's still there when I go back to Vista.

I've cleared my download history. I've deleted file associations with the files [I tried 2 different types of file each time]. I've rebooted between each attempt but the problem persists.

I'm pulling my hair out now so please help! Many thanks in anticipation.
