1.Beware of viruses and spyware. Always have somethinng like Mcafee Siteadvisor installed.
2.Always download the right bit no. (32,64) otherwise it may not work.
3.Most instalations will need administrator privelages, always have an admin password.
4.Some files will be large, and will take a long time.
5.Most things you have to pay for have a free alternative.
