When you click a download link, you will see a dialog box similar to the one shown here. You may see something slightly different than what is shown here depending on the Windows version and the browser you are using. On this dialog box, click the Save button to save the download to your computer.





Next, Windows will ask you where to save the file. It is a good idea to create a folder to keep all of your downloaded files. But you can save the downloaded file anywhere on your hard disk. Make note of where you are saving the file so that you can find it later. The File name box will display the file you are about to download. Do not change the File name.





The download will begin. It may take anywhere from a few seconds to ten or more minutes to download the file, depending on your internet connection speed. DSL and cable modems are typically very fast, so the time to download will be quick. A dial-up connection will take longer. On the download status window, be sure that the "Close this dialog box when download completes" option is not checked. It will make it easier to find your downloaded file if this option is not checked.





When the download is complete, click the Run or Open button to begin the program installation and setup. If you do not see the Download complete dialog box, you should use Windows Explorer (not Internet Explorer) to open the folder where the downloaded file was saved. Then double-click the file to start the installation.
