Did you try Richard M`s advice about installing the unrar package?
Sorry to hack this thread a little but it is relevent and maybe of help to the op.

When i 'right click' on an 'exe' in the downloads folder, it says 'unable to elevate access to administrator, error 1'.

I feel i'm almost there but i'm trying to open and run 'exe' files, and also set up newsgroups etc, now pulling my hair out lol
