Don't try to run the downloaded file. Install it in a GUI like Arena.

I am having trouble with this download... well not so much the download but the RUN command - when I click this I get the black prompt box with...
info string 128 MB Hash
What is going on? Do I need to install something else first?

This thing is amazingly Beastly super strong and can go really far into depth played at tournament time standards

You CANNOT run this program directly. This is just the engine. It's like buying a car engine online and trying to drive to work.
You need a GUI like chessbase (Think car body) to make it work. Goto options, engines and then add the Houdini engine.

I've tried to download & run this program.
I get a command prompt box which may be the "black screen" referred to by tonylin above.
It reads :
Houdini 1.5 w32
(c) 2010 Robert Houdart
Then hangs. Any idea how to continue?
