Assuming you correctly installed LDRAW and MLCAD or other GUI and now you
want to look at downloaded *.files (models)

You're trying to download *.dat files from Lugnet database or somewhere
else, I guess.
If it's so, than, probably, your Internet explorer recognized them as pure
text files (they ARE text in real!)and saved them as *.txt
If you use any file manager as FAR, you should see your *.dat files with new
extension (mine are usually saved as something.dat.txt). Simply delete .txt
extension and it should help

hopefully I answered what you asked


bye rob
