When I go to download something, it opens with internet explorer and I can't open the file..it never used to open with explorer before but for some reason it does now.

I click open and save on the files etc but it doesn't do anything, and instead asks me to open or save again.

Then when I go to find the downloaded files, it just has an internet explorer icon and when opened it repeats the process asking if i want to download.

you need to run it with java, not IE.
try java.exe -jar dawntained.jar

and yes, you might need to download and install java too and might need to use full paths, fix where appropriate.
"c:\program files\java\jre1.8\bin\java.exe" -jar "c:\users\<username>\downloads\dawntained.jar"
