Topic: Opening compressed files

[PhilZ]

Hi,

Can anybody explain how to open them in simple terms?

I've downloaded a folder and have extracted the files. I'd like to get them to run, but there are 20 or so icons in the window. I'm confused.

Thanks

[Sandra]

I assume its a zip or a rar file is it Phil ?
What have you opened it with to know that there are about 20 files inside ?
If you have unzipped a program and there is an icon called Setup or Setup.exe then just double click on that to install it

Some file extractors, like WinZip, have an 'Install' button, which, when pressed, will usually find the installation file and run it for you, Phil.

Oh GOD,    

Who is that new blonde up there in our forum?        

[Simon]

Yes, I assume you are referring to Sandra's new pic.    Isn't it funny how you get so used to someone looking exactly the same each day, you hardly recognise them in a different photo!

New Blond

it must be me - I'm a little dizzy when it comes to techy things.

Still, I'm up and running now.

Thanks Sandra.

Nice pic Sandra!  

[Sandra]

Glad you sorted it Phil  

That was me last Saturday night just before I went out for a date with a lovely guy Clive, and Serenity ordered me to replace the old one with it

Anyone we know?  

[Sandra]

Maybe, he pops on here every now and then  

[Clive]

It's about time you pulled too Sandra!   :heehee:
Many congratulations!!  Best not mention his name or some of the other guys on here will scratch his eyes out!
