I recently bought the dash

I suspect that exactly one of us knows what that means.

I have downloaded hologram zip files

Do you really have to be asked where you downloaded them from?

and followed all hologram instructions

That you got from K-mart?

Says java won't run with my computer.

Maybe it only needs to walk.

What says that Java won't run? EXACTLY what does "it" say? Please get that transcribed, and translated to English, and post it here.
