I'm having a little problem with my winzip software, When i go to download things from poser world and they download automatically, to tempo file i guess, and when the winzip opens for me to extract it it is empty. I don't know what's going on, but i thought someone would have a good idea how i might fix this.

thanks!

I haven't seen this before. Are you using any download manager? Poserworld usually only recommend to use GetRight as a manager/accelerator. I usually download from there with my browser and don't have a problem. But there may be an issue with that particular zip - have you tried posting a message on the PW forum about it? Or you could IM Steve here, his username is steveshanks.

I've seen this before, this always happens to me when I do not save the PW zip file to my harddisk first. When I do download without saving the file and try to open it then it's empty. When you click on a PW file, never use open, but always use save (the second button, not sure what that states in english) and open once saved.

thanks I'll give it a try, it's keeps messin with my head. all this good stuff to download and it wont come up.

1. Open any folder in Windows Explorer 2. From the menu select Too;s->Folder Options 3. Click file types then scroll to and find and select .zip 4. Click on advanced 5. Check Confirm Open After Download Hopefully that should do it.

ty :)

Thanks so much! i got it to work, thanks to the combined help :) thanks again

If it went through the downloading process, it's probably in your cache under temporary internet files. When they get saved to the cache they usually have a number appended to the filename as file.zip becomes file[1].zip. It may be that your archive application is trying to open the original filename and not finding it perhaps. At any rate, I never use open for downloading any type of file--it's asking for trouble as a possible security risk.
