I am developing a webpage for work and having 2 problems, both
happening only it seems with Internet Explorer (we are currently
running version 6 in the office)

It doesn't do it in IE 7 beta, nor in Firefox, or Opera.

First problem
When we enter the address www.centrestart.co.uk I get a pop up, as if
IE is trying to download a file instead of opening the page

I've uploaded a screen grab here of it

Second Problem
Despite having a line in the header telling it what charset the page is
in, it still seems to have a problem with the encoding and displays
garble when some links are clicked on. If you click the back button and
then the forward button the page then displays correctly.

I have validated my HTML and my CSS.

Not having either of these problems on other browsers, or on my machine
at home (in IE 6)

These are driving me crazy. Can anyone help?

I visited the site using IE6 without problem. I found nothing in the site
code that would cause the problem. Can you access other sites with the
machine in question? I suspect your machine's file types are a possible
problem. Check your site's web server configuration too. See this link for
info on mine types.
