I am sooo about to smack this computer...

What am I missing here? I'm trying to download a Monoply game. Supposed to be so simple. I click on 'Download Monoploy now' and it starts. Then it asks me what program I want to use. How the hell should I know? You're the fuckin' computer, YOU pick one. It pops up a window with about 20 choices in it, the only one of which I remember is Dr. Watson. I have abso-frickin'-lutely no idea who he is, what he does or what 'program' I'm supposed to pick.
I choose 'Explorer" because I at least know that name...It continues. Then throws out this box saying something about "You are downloading a file...blah, blah, blah." There are three or four choices at the bottom of this box. "Open', 'save', cancel', and 'more info'. Not one of these choices resulted in me playing Monoply.

So, what gives? Besides me, the finger, to the computer?

Anyone? Bueller?

Help?

2 And did you ever notice how none of the programs offered are either anything you have ever heard of, or if you have heard of them, obviously not the correct answer (yes, I would like to open the picture with Word, please....and while you're at it, open the document I want to read in Paint Shop Pro....)?

3 See? Thank God I'm not the only one...sigh, But, I still ain't playin' Monopoly, yet.
Hell, it'd be easier to use the board game and try to beg someone around here to play...

4 My fear is that I'll be an Early Adopter and get one of the first implanted computers in my body. Then they'll have to rip it out again and again for upgrades, patches, and maintenance.
Okay, that's just ONE of my fears.
