how to launch downloaded programs
 

Yes i have downloaded a few programs from limewire but when i try to launch them it tells me it can not luanch them for security reasons. What do i need to do to launch them or is their nothing at all i'm using windows xp if that matters and winimp to open the other program i downloaded but thats not working now i'm new to the computer world so i'm lost in troubleshooting so lamen terms would be nice if anyone can help. Thank You!

A small advice that will help you advance in the Limewire, uh, business: DON't use the Library to play/view/whatever your files. Go directly to the place where they are stored in your PC.
This placed is called Shared folder and is found at the location that is specified in Tools->Options->Saving. Go to tht place and you'll find all the completed downloads. Open them from there, NOT the Library.

go to tools->options->save and then i get lost
 

i appreciate your advice but i do ride the short bus when it comes to computers all it asks me for is a file not a program and when i click on the file its empty any other suggestions to help me understand how to find it

:confused:
I didn't get that last part: did you or did you not go to the location specified in saving? Remember, I'm talking about going there in your desktop browser, meaning that if it tells you to go to C:/Program files then you have to double click My Computer and then C:/ and go to Program Files. 5this is just an example, of course. The location specified in Saving should be different...)

In the last part i'm talking that when i go to tools then to options and then to saving then what do i need to type in the name of the program i'm looking for or what the folder that is displayed in the highlighted window doesn't show any downloads when i click ok so my question is what to do when i get to the saving part? Tanks Again

If I understand right, what you are trying to do is going to the Tools->Options->Saving, then typing/clicking stuff there?
If I'm right, then don't.
If you followed the directions in my last post then you should have no problem locating the Folder the downloads are stored in.
If, on the other hand, you still can't find the downloads, then try doing a search in your computer (with the Search file function in the Start menu, of course, not manual...) for, say, one of the programs you are trying to open (dlded via LW). Make sure that you use words that would not be too common or you'll end up with too many results.
