Hi Karen and list, as alex said nothing will damage the bn, but don't try running any exe files you download on the bn, unless you were advised to by hw or a trusted source. If a file is corrupted, try downloading it again. don't reset between the first and second download. If you wanna get technical, the reason some exe files don't run on the pc is the bn sometimes corrupts the "MZ" header, which tells windows to run the program in dos mode, giving it a 64 kb chunk of memory to work with, which is normally not nearly enough.
