When you say it doesn't want to install them what do you mean?
Do you mean you tell it to install them and it refuses or that you
cannot choose to install them?
If you start up a terminal program and navigate to the directory the
files are in then you should be able to install with gdebi.
eg. suppose you have a directory called newfiles with a file in it
called mynewprogram.deb
then do this
[code]
cd newfiles
sudo gdebi mynewprogram.deb
[/code]
You should be asked for your password and then it should get installed.
