[trouble with water plug-in]

I saved it onto my desktop. When I open it there are just a whole bunch of letters,numbers,symbols...

When I right click it and go to 'properties' it says the

type of file is a 'ZIP File (.zip)

and that it opens with 'wordPad'.

I used the DLL that's in the 'Plugins' section of these forums.

[trouble with water plug-in]

I downloaded the plug-in and put it in the effects folder and unblocked it.

I still can't find the effect in p.net.

All I have in effects>Distort is: bulge, polar inversion, tile reflection and twist.

That's where the 'water' should be right?

I downloaded the 'portrait-effect' and everything went ok.

So what am I doing wrong with this one? :?

Could anyone please be so kind and help me? Consider I'm really new to this.

ETA: I just checked in the effects folder and under Type it says ZIP File instead of 'Application extension'.

I read about having to extract, but how do I do that? When I had it on my desktop ,after downloading,and rightclicked it there was no 'extract',only 'open'...

I also want to mention I have 'Windows Vista'.Maybe that makes a difference.
