You need Windows Media Player as the default player on your PC so that you can just click on the link and it will play.
To download it Right Click on the link and choose "Save Target As" and you'll be prompted to save it to a folder that you can choose, remember where you put it. I'd suggest making a new folder and naming it "Downloads" or "Your Choice" something that you can remember.
When it's finished downloading it will tell you and give you a choice of playing it or opening the folder. If you want to play it at a later time, find the folder it's in and click on it, you must have Windows Media Player as your default player as it won't play in Real Player.
Or you can open WMP and choose to open the file from there and play it.
Hope that helps
Simon
