Hi Rockman5
Blast's suggestion for extracting this type of file, hope this helps

This error mostly occurs when WinZip tries to open a ".tar.gz" file with the incorrect extension.
Try downloading the "tar.gz" file again but right-click the link and choose "Save Target As..." to prevent your browser from dynamically uncompressing the file.

As a mozilla user I had to use IE to do this as mozilla hasn't got the "save target as" option
WinZip then is able to open the file.
Thanks to Helpless for this fix!!!!

Hi, I've done as suggested and downloaded the program as told directly from the site via your link. It works, thanks, I appreciate your help.
I don't know if this is the answer to mmrockfords question, but I downloaded the directly from the link found in the downloads section here at the computer cops downloads link.
Thanks again |
