My propeller's on light goes on, and about 2.5-3 seconds later, pins 16-23's light go on (demo board), and it stays like this until I turn it off? Anyone? Help?!

What kind of "problems"? When you hit F10 or F11 to program, does it report any kind of an error?

Could I be downloading the program wrong? Which do you turn on first, the propeller (demo) board, or the comunication from the computer?
When I download the program, the communication thing comes up on the computer, but nothing else happens.

The first seconds after power up the demo board loads the demo-program from the EEPROM.
The it starts. You can view this on a TV, connected to the yellow tulip connector, or on a connected VGA monitor, connected on the 15-p connector. Also you can her it on a headphone,
connected on the black headphone jack (scratch with your finger over the microphone.
When you have running the IDE and the board connected by USB you can verify proper connection by tapping Run/Identify Hardware... F7.
If your connection is veriefied and your program compiled, you may upload it into the demo-board by tapping Run/Compile Current/Load RAM + Run F10
Succes

Who says you have to have knowledge to use it?
