Here's a step-by-step mini-primer on downloading software from the Internet. It's not as hard as it seems.

Step 1: Preparing a File for Download

When you have determined you have enough disk space to download the file, the first thing you need to do is click on the actual file you want to download.(or download button which some webmaster provide)

Once you click on the file, you will be prompted to save it to your hard disk. There are two things you absolutely must remember: where you saved the file and what the file name was (jot this information down if you have to). It would be a good idea to create a folder on your computer specifically for downloads.

After you've chosen a place to save the file, your computer will begin downloading it, and you will be given an estimate of how much time it will take.

Step 2: Don't Forget to Exit Out of Your Browser!

Many people don't realize that after they have downloaded the file, they must run through an installation process to make the software work. Once you have downloaded the file, close out of your browser and find the file you have just downloaded.

Step 3: Running Through the Installation Process

Clicking on the name of the file you have just downloaded will get the installation process going. You usually will be prompted to answer a few questions, such as "What is your e-mail address?"  When the installation is completed, you can begin enjoying your new software.
