You need to look at the "file extension" of the file you are trying to download (the last 3 or so characters after the "dot") and then install a "helper program" that can process it.
Example: If the file ends in ".doc" you will need MS Word... or for ".xls" you will need MS Excel, etc.
In many cases, you can install a "viewer" application that will give limited access to view (but not edit) the downloaded item.
Example: Adobe provides a free ".pdf" reader that will let you view (only) PDF files, but you will need to purchase Acrobat to create/edit these files.
Also, Microsoft provides FREE viewers for most Office programs (like Word, XL, and Powerpoint) at their website as well.

What website are you going to, and what is the extension on the file?
