Silly, you open it via java.

Did you even read the instructions?

I don't see the java option under the open with option, I did download java this morning though

yes I did install it does it matter if my windows is 64 bit and I'm using the 32 bit java

1. Get 64 bit Java.

2. Entr that command into Command Prompt and post the results.

here is what it said

Java version "1.8.0_66"

Java (TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_66-b18)

Java Hotspot (TM) 64-bit server VM (build 25.66-b18, mixed mode)

and how would I do that?

also it says its a WinRAR archive file not a jar file

yea I don't see the java option in the open file thing

Just double click optifine (it's an executable) it will add a profile called "optifine" for 1.8.9.

yea when I do that it just gives me a thousand folders

Did you download the right version from optifine ? cause I just did it, no problems and it has shaders built in (here's a pic).

Maybe you got a bad download ? try re-downloading it again ?

how do I do that? I suck with computer stuff

java wont show up when I do that and I'm 100% sure its installed

I think this is more of an issue with java

how do I do that?

I mean I have tried to set it as my default app but it wont show up under default apps by file type or protocol

it worked, thank you so much, I really appreciate this
