Can anyone tell me how to install and run the programs I have downloaded? I have downloaded several program files but when I burn them to CD or try to open them direct I cannot get them to do anything.
Should I be selecting a certain type of file, rar, bin, zip etc. I am not sure what some of these file types are or what I need to do with them once I download them. Do I need a program to run them?
Is there a manual out there for downloading, coping, packaging, unpackaging, burning etc?

I have been trying on both Win98 and XP Professional programs.

Thanks for the help
