C:\Program Files\dominions3\mods if using the default windows install.

In the files, should I run something, like the DM file, it doesn't know what program it was written with.

You don't need to open the mod .dm files in order to play with them. Just drop them in the /mods folder and start the game (once the game has started, main menu -> preferences -> mod preferences).

If you want to edit the .dm files, you can open them with notepad. They're just text files.

I downloaded the CBM mod into a folder called mods. That folder is in the folder called dominions3. Which is in the program filesfolder, and which is in Local Disk (C

located in My Computer.

In the mods folder there is a file with a zipper on the side. I open the file and click on the extract files button opening another screen with near idintical contents. Returning to the mods folder a new folder is present.

When I open Dominions 3 and click on preferences followed by Mod preferences. Nothing shows up except a box with only an exit button and a title.

When you open the file with the zipper, copy and paste all teh contents into the mods folder. Than delete the folder with the zipper. Go to mod preferences, and enable cbm.

CBM has more than just one folder inside of it. The folder is probably images for worthy heroes. There is also a text file, called cbm 1.5.dm or something like that, which is necessary to enable the mod.
