All you have to do is click on the first file, (Media.bat?) and it will set everything else up for you...Nat will correct me if I am wrong  ------------------

Sim,
I've run a search for the answer to your prob and I just cant remember where it was. I do know that the prob is connected to when you right-click to save the file, its name is changed. I think it has an added ".zip" or something.
what EXACTLY are the names that you have?IP: Logged |

all your files have the wrong names, this happens "mostly" with Netscape, the actual file names are:Media.zip.001
Media.zip.002
Media.zip.003
Media.zip.004
Media.zip.005
Media.zip.006
Media.BAT Just rename your files to the correct names and run the BAT file and that should sort you out, I'll add this note to the site this evening so that others don't have the same problem, or atleastknow what to do, I can't explain why this problem occurs, alot have had no trouble at all, but some using both Netscape and Internet Explorer have had trouble. ~Nat~ IP: Logged |

Thanks heaps Nat.. i think that did it.. but i think i did something stupid.. the first few zips - Media.zip.001 and Media.zip.002 i accidently changed them to notepad (duh!) And i cant change them back and every time i would download those files again they continue to be saved at in notepad format.zip
What can i do to change them back to a dat icon instead of a notepad one??------------------

But i did somehting really stupid - the first few zip files .001 and .002 i accidently changed them to notepad when i tried opening them with it.. and now i cant seem to get them back to the origional zip. Every time i D/L the same file it still always saves it in notepad format!

I think this is what you will have to do:Open Explorer (not internet explorer) and click on "View" then click "Folder Options" Now click on the tab "File Types" In the list you need to find the Notepad File type that opens up files with the extension 001 and 002, and delete them both Basicaly it'll have the notepad icon, there could be a few in there, but if you click on then it'll show you the file extension it's linked to, just delete them and your system wont recognise that file type anymore and it should save with the correct extensions again. Hope that help Sim ~Nat~
