Man I am sorry but when I double click on a the exe file this what i get [/media/BURN,INC./DVDFab Platinum 3/PcSetup.exe] End-of-central-directory signature not found. Either this file is not a zipfile, or it constitutes one disk of a multi-part archive. In the latter case the central directory and zipfile comment will be found on the last disk(s) of this archive. note: /media/BURN,INC./DVDFab Platinum 3/PcSetup.exe may be a plain executable, not an archive zipinfo: cannot find zipfile directory in one of /media/BURN,INC./DVDFab Platinum 3/PcSetup.exe or /media/BURN,INC./DVDFab Platinum 3/PcSetup.exe.zip, and cannot find /media/BURN,INC./DVDFab Platinum 3/PcSetup.exe.ZIP, period. again i really appreciate the help and the patient Rick
