How do I get Widgets to work??

I'm running Mac OSX Panther and I have no clue how to get my widgets to work. I have downloaded several and don't know what to do??? no install, nothing

How do I get Widgets to work??
I've never used Panther but here are the instructions for Tiger. I got this from the Help in Finder when I typed in, installing widgets.





Click the Dashboard icon in the Dock or press the F12 key to open Dashboard.





Click the Open (+) button to reveal the widget bar.





Click Manage Widgets to open the Widgets Dashboard widget.





Click More Widgets to go to the Dashboard Widgets website.





Follow the instructions on the website to select and download the widget you want.





When the Widget Installer opens, click Install.





If the installer doesn't open automatically, go to where you download files on your computer and open the widget. If the file is archived (for example, the name includes the ".zip" extension), you'll first need to open the archive to retrieve the widget.





Click Keep to keep the widget.


You can use the widget before you decide whether to keep it. If you decide not to keep the widget, click Delete to delete the widget from Dashboard and move the widget to the Trash.
