Right-click, save target as.
Once downloaded, unzip the OCX file. I found that it helps to have both the Character Manager application icon and OCX file unzipped into the same folder as one another. I have yet to experience any problems using that method.
EDIT: VioletSkye beat me to it

As to what programs I had running, I cant say for sure anymore. On my XP system, the file never actually came with the Character manager zip. On my 98 system, I downloaded one too many spyware programs and cant say with any certainty which one I suspect of deleting the file (the file did originally exist until I ran the programs).
