I assume the problem is that windows does not recognize the .chm extension.

Here is the file association on my computer:

Hi Millowena,

I don't have much experience with Internet Explorer. As a non-techie,

I prefer Firefox because it's safer.

I have IE7.

Here is what I do in IE7:

1) Right-click on the file name, "AmiBroker.zip"

2) Click "Open in new tab"

3) In the "File Download" dialog box, click "Save".

4) In the "Save As" dialog box, specify where you want to save the

file (maybe your desktop is easiest).

5) Unzip the file.

6) Remove the final "$" from the filename.

7) Double-click the file.

Best regards,

Alan
