Downloading Authorware Web Player on Vista

["Frustrated in Texas"]

I have been trying to download Authorware Web Player on my Windows Vista for 
the past several hours with no success.  Since I bought my computer, I have had 
nothing but problems with Vista and downloading programs onto it.  I also have 
had compatibility problems with it and the printer I've had for the past 2 
years that worked just fine before I got Vista.  Can anyone explain to me how 
to download Authorware Web Player on Vista so I can complete this ONE online 
course that will only take an hour at the most?  Please put it in simple terms 
because I'm definitely not an expert on computers....far from it actually. 

 Thank you so much,
 Very frustrated with Vista!
