balamm what up with all the extracting stuff is! Is that he may have to he never said it was an iso. he never even said what file type it is so to help him better we'd have to know. if he hasnt figured it out already since we havent heard from him?! I download a version of windows 2000 that was an exe and had to extract it with winzip So we both could be right since he wasnt so clear on what file type it exactly is im just going by the error he gave and i got the same thing with the win2K i was talking about
