Are you extracting the files? When you click on a zipped file, it should
give you a default path where the files are to be located, and offer to show
you the files after being extracted. Normally, a zipped file containing
various files/folders will then contain a setup or install file, plus a
readme file. If you haven't reached that point, you may have a corrupt
download. I would set up a folder under My Documents called "Download" and
try downloading the file again before extracting.
