I finally downloaded my client and extracted once the download was done, but not when I open the folder that it was extracted to the .exe file in there doesn't do anything. I double click it and the little hour glass comes up, but then nothing happens. Can anyone help me with this?

You have Vista? if so, try opening it as an administrator.

Nope, using standard old XP.

It happens to me sometimes with large download files.  Double click on it and walk away from the computer for a few minutes... come back later and voila... file opened.
