Hello uesquebeathus,
Are you using MS Internet Explorer? Other browsers occasionally create random problems.
The normal procedure for most GotDs is (and this one in particular):
1. Download the file from the GotD site by clicking on the Download XXX now button
2. Unzip the D/L-ed file
3. Open the Readme.txt file and follow the instructions therein. This usually means:
4. Run the Setup program to install and activate the software
Note that sometimes you need to close the application (after installing it), and then restart it, in order for it to be fully activated.
I suggest that you give today's Giveaway another try.
Welcome to the site and forum; I would stick with it, because there are many good Giveaways to be had here.
