[Civrules]

I am so sorry if this dose not belong here but I have a question. I cannot seem to download ZIP Files. No matter what kind of ZIP it is. When I do word pad comes up with some kinds of hieroglyphics that I cannot read. I cannot download maps or anything that is a zip. What the hell am I doing wrong I have ben trying this ever since I got civ 3 (one year ago). It is extremely frustrating!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Can someone PLEASE HELP ME.

Thank you in advance.

[color=600f0f]I understand your frustration. However, that doesn't excuse a "foul mouth". I cleaned it up for you this time. --Padma[/color]

Do you have WinZip installed? Sometimes it can help when your computer can recognize the file format.

You can also try right clicking on the download link and select "Save target as..." to save the file.

Try Winrar it does the same thing as winzip, but it can open both rar and zip files.

Either you have a very wicked sense of humour, or my sarcasm radar isn't what it used to be....

I believe some window operating systems come with a plain vannila utility for unzipping files, work like winzip but with with less bells and wistles, anyway I get two choice for unzipping when I right click on zip files, one winzip and one something generic that unzips but does not zip.

In Windows 9x and 2000 this comes with Microsoft Plus, so unless you install Microsoft Plus in addition to Windows, you don't get this.

Windows XP Pro, and I think Home, opens zip files as folders (pretty lame implementation IMHO).

Just use this: http://www.winzip.com/

Its simple and easy to use, and it doesn't take up much harddrive space.
