Scheisse

Hey, I'm new here. Just thought I'd let everyone know how confused I am. I think all of the programs on here are great, the only problem is, I don't know how to make them work, I've downloaded all of the required things but they come up with a not responding message and I have to end it before it ever began. I know it's probably on here how to do it, but can someone dumb down the instructions on how to get this to work for me haha thanks in advance.
