If you are trying to open them, they won't. From the site:
Remember, do not open these files. Windows doesn't know how to open them.
Once you download them ,you have to link them. Which version do you have? 6 and 7 is done the same way, but 5 is different.
Heres from the site how:
Link to the folder full of files:
5.If you have EQ5, you need to link the folder. (see picture)
Do the following steps (you only need to do this once):
◦Click FILE > Preferences > Directories tab.
◦Click Add, type in Monthly Libraries and set it to Fabrics (not blocks). Click OK.
◦Select Monthly Libraries in the list.
◦Click Modify and BROWSE to My Documents. Select the Monthly Libraries folder. Click OK.
◦Click OK.
If you have EQ6 or EQ7, you need to link the folder. (see picture)
Do the following steps (you only need to do this once):
◦Click LIBRARIES > Fabric Library > Link Library button.
◦Click Add, type in Monthly Libraries and click Browse.
◦Select the My Documents > Monthly Libraries folder.
◦Click OK, then click Close.
If you get an error message "Not a valid directory!", then you are linking to an empty folder! Don't skip step 3 this time!
If this doesn't help, post your exact steps, and we'll try to figure it out.
