More info?)
If you're new to XP (presuming you are since you posted to "new users" xp
group):
What program are you trying to install? It would help to know.
If the folder is one with a "zipper" on it it means it is a compressed file,
so double click (or right-click and "Extract) it to start the extraction
process and specify where to extract the files (eg to a new folder within My
Documents). Then go to that folder and see if there's a setup.exe or
whatever and doubleclick to start the installation process.
If that doesn't work , return to the web site you got it from and make sure
you've downloaded the correct file.
