         Good evening everyone,

     I have just started using Windows 7 Home Premium within the past 
month, and am having trouble downloading Web Braille books. When I press 
enter to download a volume file, I generally choose the Save button, 
bbut then Windows 7 asks me with which program I want to open. 
Yesterday, it asked me to have BRF files fixed with Speedy PC, which I 
did not want. I just want to select a volume file, save it, and rename 
the file to have it saved in my Library Books folder. Can some of you 
please send some step-by-step instructions on how to download Web 
Braille books. This is a brand-new computer, and I don't want to break 
anything after trying to do something as simple as downloading books. I 
downloaded the Braille Readers Are Leaders reading logs without any 
problem. As far as screen-reading software goes, right now, I am using 
JAWS 12, but will soon be upgrading to JAWS 13.

     Thank you in advance for your help.

Mary Donahue

     P.S. I have had to use Pete's laptop or desktop to download books, 
and those are still in Windows XP, but I don't want to keep doing that.
