What program do I use to open up the game? I have just downloaded it and when i open it I have a selection of programs to open it with?

You downloaded the game, I\'m assuming for Windows (you didn\'t download a pre-built one for Linux, Mac, or the sourcecode, right?). TYhere\'s a program that is like assembler.bat or something, kind of stands out, and if you followed directions, you would have known to execute (run) that after you downloaded it. Then it would have put all the pieces together, and you would have it ready for the next step (which it\'s been a while, not entirely certian what it is, but I can guarentee that my computer-inept redneck hillbilly roommates could figure it out, so if you can\'t.... well....). Look for files that end in .bat (Batch file, old MS-DOS extension that still trickles through and shows up every once in a while), .com (Command file, almost never seen any more, sort of maybe one or two windows commands might still be it), or .exe (Executable file, the most common type of program in Windows). Anything else is just something that starts one of those three listed types in order to run/be opened.

Taken directly from the download page:
Windows instructions:
1) Download from the list below the 5 Parts and the Reassembler.
2) Place all files in the same dir
3) Double-click on run_me_first.bat
4) Launch PSV0.2.010.exe
If you already have version 0.2.006 or 0.2.007 or 0.2.008 just use the updater program present in the win distribution to upgrade to 0.2.010.
This you should have read before you even began to download the client. Hopefully now you know what you\'re doing, so good luck for the rest of the process.
