Downloaded the patch, but it's not operational - help?

[596silverblue]

Hello,
     I downloaded the patch and saved it in my WinMx folder. Beyond that, I'm not sure how to install it. My WinMx is on, but "patch operational" is greyed out." I'm using the version before 3.53, (maybe 3.31?). Can you tell me how to install the patch so it will be operational?

if you see the text patch operational then it should be functioning, if you give it a minute it *should* connect...
