Default Will not launch. Help, please?

So, I walked on the wild side (Eek, eek) and downloaded an exe program. It downloaded fine, and it's on my computer. However, when I try to launch, (And I quote) "ERROR Limewire will not launch the specified file for security reasons"

It's horribly annoying. Any ways to force it to launch or has it failed and will never let me open the program?

If this is the case, why did it let me bother downloading it if it won't launch. Rrr.

((If there's a thread already like this, I'm sorry, I missed it. I looked around a lot...))

Walking on the wildside can be very dangerous especially with any exe or zip files...If your getting a message not to open it listen to your comp as if you do you will more than likely end up with a virus...
Take a look at this thread and learn from it....

It's larger than 1000KB. It's actually over 6000. Which seems like what it should be. Alright, then. There's no hope at all? *Giving up*

She must of gone off line....

Anyway this is what she said (taken from email notification)...
If you really want to open the file, you'll have to do it outside of LW (make sure to scan it first with your AV!!!).
Go to your LW library, click on Saved Files & Explore... your saved folder will open. Go from there.

Actually, it won't work there either. "Unable to locate component."

Ah, well. Wasn't that big of a deal. Thanks anyway.
