I am new to MAc and OS10. How do I open down loads. I click on the Icon and it asks me what program to open with. One is text and the others are VCD players etc. Thanks Ed

Hello edailey,

You can open text documents with either Mac OS X's TextEdit or Microsoft Word. A good Mac media player (which plays VCDs) is VLC Media Player version 0.8.6.

Regards.

what are you downloading?
videos? music? software?
is it mac compatible?

if you right click and it shows vlc, chances are, its a video file. vlc usually plays pretty much anything you throw at it.

Unarchiver will expand compressed or encoded files, but don't forget the classic Mac file decoder/expander that is also a universal binary: Stuffit Expander.

Aside from running Windows with either Boot Camp or Parallels, .exe files can be run with either Darwine/WineHelper or CrossOver on a Mac without installing Windows.
