Sarkut Posted March 29, 2010 Share Posted March 29, 2010 What happens if you double-left-click the zip file? Adobe Reader should have no part in this. You may need to reset your file association for .zip. What OS version do you have? (XP, Vista, etc.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archie7748 Posted March 29, 2010 Author Share Posted March 29, 2010 Hi Sarkot, i have vista home, i do not get theoption of clicking any file its just a black text box with the previous message. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lance McKnight Posted March 29, 2010 Share Posted March 29, 2010 #1, are you downloading from www.getpaint.net? #2, Adobe Reader only opens .PDF files, not a ZIP file. It sounds like you need to change the options in your browser's tool menu. Quote Officially retired from this forum. Have a nice day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarkut Posted March 29, 2010 Share Posted March 29, 2010 If the Download dialogue offers a choice between Open with... or Save File be sure that Save File is ticked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sarkut Posted March 29, 2010 Share Posted March 29, 2010 Okay. Try clearing your browser's cache and/or using a different browser to download the Paint.NET zip. http://www.wikihow.com/Clear-Your-Browser%27s-Cache It should open with simple left-clicking. Does the driver zip that you downloaded open OK? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
