I have been trying to Download XaoS, (the real time fractal zoomer) and have done so successfuly. But when finished, my computer does not know how to open it, and gives a program list, to figure which will play it. I have no idea of what to do. Cn you guys help me any? Any help would be good.

On the main page, make sure you click on the Windows Executable and download that. Then once it's saved onto your desktop, right click, and extract the files into a folder, or use a utility like WinZip or WinRAR to extract them. I'm pretty sure the newest version of windows can handle .zip files.

Then go into the folder
Xaos>Bin

Click on the Xaos executable! [Wink]

Incidentally I'm having lots of fun zooooooming in and zooooooing out. WEE!
