Double click on the file? Or maybe it happens to be a .iso with a .exe extension? Dunno.

when i do double click the file, a box pops up quickly and disappears. it has a black screen and looks like a cursor is blinking in it.

How big is this file?

It sounds like maybe it is an ISO?

Try opening it with Winrar (http://www.rarlab.com).

it is 410,162 kb

I've downloaded the file you are talking about. Just do as Ariel_001 said, and open the file with WinRAR (http://www.rarlab.com/), then extract the stuff inside.

Yes, ISO files are often labelled as .exe so they should up on software searches on kazaa/lite. If it is one big file then it is likely to be an ISO file or even a ZIP file.

Look in the description when you download, it sometimes gives a clue to what it can be.
