Open the zip file with winzip, then extract the contents to a folder.
You should only be opening .ecu files (which are probably contained within the zip and need to be extracted) with ElanScan.
I'm not 100% on where to set the latency, but most likely Start > Control Panel > System > Hardware > Device Manager > Look for the adapter in the list > right click > properties. If you're not sure might be worth trying to acquire the assistance of a spotty teenager.

i looked in in the device manager,
found display adapters and network adapters, but nothing saying latancy in the properties page ,
i opened elanscan with winzip put the fill in a folder unzipped it and found a load of computer wording in a box ,

Not sure of Vista Tim, but read the XP write up in
Wiki help as it should be similar - you need to look under Ports (COM & LPT) or similar and
not display or network adapters.

Have you tired right mouse clicking and selecting unzip? If not there are a myriad of "unzipping" solutions on the net, winzip is a good example. Just make sure you note where the files are unzipping to.
