Datamaster (posted above) is definitely the best, but you only get 30 free logs.

When I open a folder, let's say "My Documents," I see all my files. Sometimes I download a .zip file and it looks like a folder with a zipper on it. So I double click on it just as if it was a folder within "My Documents" and then there's the file called "setup.exe" so I can double click on that and run "Setup." Right? Well, I found out that in Windows XP (or at least on my comp) that you need to open the folder with the zipper on it, THEN look in the upper left hand corner of the page and it will say something like "extract contents of folder" which basically works like WinZip used to for me when I had it on Windows 98 or ME. It gives me the choice to extract the files to a specific place. THEN, it extracts that SAME "setup.exe" file to a folder. I open that folder, double-click, and run setup.

See the difference? You must extract before running the setup file.

If that doesn't work, sorry. More skin off my back than yours since I just typed all this novel!!! hee hee
