Whenever I try to go to an RSS feed in IE7 directly, I get a very strange error. IE 7 tries to download the page, but fails. It throws an error, 

Internet Explorer cannot download rss.php from www.example.com.

Internet Explorer was not able to open this Internet site. The requested site 
is either unavailable or cannot be found. Please try again later.

But when I click a link to view the same feed, it doesn't throw an error but displays the XML instead. Are there any ways I caan fix this, that don't involve OS hacks?

Also, if I try to put an xsl stylesheet on it, it tries to download the file no matter what and still errors.

It would help if you provided an actual example (i.e. the site you encountered this on). Also: Do other browsers react the way they should? – Tobias Plutat May 4 '11 at 9:26

Try resetting the browser (Tools | Internet Options, then the last tab).
