The file will come in zip format. First you have to unzip it - if you have XP you can use its built in unzip utility, otherwise you have to use an unzip programme such as Winzip. Once unzipped you will have a folder full of files (exact number will depend upon databse you downloaded). Point POILoader at the folder you stored these unzipped files and it should recognise and load them on to your sat nav.

Not if it's for the Garmin it isn't! As Peter has pointed out, the download is compressed in a .zip file and needs tro be extracted first.
