Try .ISO first.

Try .ISO or .EXE, and WinRAR.

I'm going to try Change extension to .iso and download power archiver or winrar?

Then I'll Be back this may take a while. (dialup)
Also I hope this isn't all for nothing. I did run a virus scan 2 times. It should be clean.
I still don't get why I suddenly can't open a exe file?????????????
I'll wait for a reply first. And thanks, you guys.

[kazaalitehelp1964]

Oh so I don't have to change it ? cool. I try your link for winrar and I'll get back soon. Thank you!!

[skelley521]

What do you mean you cant open an .exe file?
You can see the file extension now right.

[kazaalitehelp1964]

Downloading Winrar now, and yes it is an exe and its showing the extension now.
thank you

[kazaalitehelp1964]

what I mean is It is an exe and it won't open. Like I said in the beginning, a dos box flashes real quick and then nothing seems to happen.

That's because it is not a proper .exe
No worries

[kazaalitehelp1964]

Proper? Ok ya lost me? doesn't have the correct properties of an actual executable file? Is that what it means? I don't understand why it has an exe extention to begin with. is it an Image? someone mentioned that. OHH Geees. I'm changing it to an ISo and try to open with Winrar. I get back to ya

[kazaalitehelp1964]
