This thing is stuffed...

What gives with phex? I am on a 56k modem, running windows ME. When I launch phex as instructed, things seem to go fine, until I start a search. When I do phex brings back some good results, but then freezes completely after about 2/3sec. The only way out is to use Ctlr, Alt and delete. Also the little option icons along the top of the phex window are completely greyed out. They seem to stay that way no matter what. Only the connections icon seems active. The download page says I need two downloadable files. I got Java, but wasn't at all sure what to do with the second one. It doesn't seem to be an executable program. I'm sorry, I am very much a novice. Perhaps you can consider this when advising me...
