Default help to run setup.exe

i'm afraid i'm really not a technological wizard...

i've got a mac. i've just downloaded a program and have it sitting in my shared folder. i've read the "read me" notes and need to "run setup.exe." when i try to open it, it just asks me which program i want to use to open it?

which program do i use?

and how the hell do i get at this program?

thanks.

Macs can't run .exe files. In other words, as you are now, you cannot run this whatever program you have because it's for Windoze PC only.
However, you can get Virtual PC, which is a PW emulator for Macs, then get a copy of Windows (you can choose to various Windows on your VPC) and run it through there. Don't expect it to run very fast though.
