Question!

[MUSLEMAN]

you need to extract it with winsio or isobuster

[1337_m4n]

i converted it to a bin and isp and opened it with winiso but it said that it is an invalid format page...then i converted it to a zip/rar and it said it was corrupted!

thanx for trying to help me, but...
its not that i am mad i cant play the game...i could d/l it from somewhere else!
its that the problem is occuring on a lot of .exe extensions, that is worrying me!

of course most d/l are runnable, but some arent

has this happened to someone else?
is the file just corrupt, or is there something i can do about it?

Just so you dont get any fakes, first see if the game you want is in the verifieds section on the forum.

[MUSLEMAN]

did you change it back to exe and try do extract it with winiso or winrar??

[cwctv]

Alot of these "exe" are what have been renamed use Winrar it should open them then you can see the files of whatever it is game etc,get Winrar 3.00 and above too this was one problem I had cause my old one kept saying file corrupt.

If you could tell us what the file originally was, it may be easier for us to help.

WOW! thanx guys! a lot of suggestions! i have to try tehm all... and i think i already said what the original file was(exe).
i will try all of your suggestions and i hope tehy work

ok, i got winrar 3.20.
i was abled to open another file in its exe extension! and when i opened it, it was fifa world cup 2002! what the hell? it was supposed to be counter-strike:condition zero! and when i extracted the fifa world cup, it had so many corrupted files!!!

and the other file(jedi.academy) i couldnt even open with......wel anything!
i have come to a conclusion that i should delete this kind of files because they seem to be either fake, or not what the title says. i mean i have found so many games and almost none of the games match their title!!! what the hell?

does someone know how i can stay away from those and download the REAL game?(or whatever software im trying to download)

use verified hashes.

better yet, use eMule.
