ok i followed them instructions and when i doubled clicked the file a window pop up kinda looks like the command prompt window, has red letters in it, but it wont stay up long enough for me to read it just closes

Go back to the website and look for instuctions how to open the zip. You may need special zip software. I dont know.
The zip that you used should have opened it.
Go to the website and download once more to your desktop and try to open it.
