Lunamis Posted April 9, 2008 Share Posted April 9, 2008 I downloaded paint.net just a few moments ago, and my i-tunes popped up, not thinking anything of it I x-ed it out and waited patiently for another window to pop up. It didn't. When I went to my downloads and tried to open the program from there, i-tunes once again popped up. All I can guess is that it somehow downloaded itself somewhere on it. I tried to re-download it, clicking "open with windows explorer" when asked. The same thing happened - what's going on and how can I download this successfully and get started. Thanks for any help you can offer! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Brown Posted April 9, 2008 Share Posted April 9, 2008 You need to unzip it. Right click -> Explore -> Extract All Files. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lunamis Posted April 9, 2008 Author Share Posted April 9, 2008 It will only let me open it with i-tunes - if I try to open it with windows explorer or firefox about 200 (not exaggerating) windows pop up. I tried right-clicking it but there's no "explore" or any other listed way to unzip it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simon Brown Posted April 9, 2008 Share Posted April 9, 2008 how do i get to the file on window's explorer? Select "Open Folder Location". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lunamis Posted April 12, 2008 Author Share Posted April 12, 2008 Okay, I've done that, but once again, there's no option to unzip it - I think it's because it downloaded itself onto i-tunes but I don't know what to download it to (that was the default for some weird reason) The only options are now "open, cut, copy, delete, and properties".

When you right-click on the file after you opened it in it's parent folder - is there an "Explore" option? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lunamis Posted April 12, 2008 Author Share Posted April 12, 2008 nope. Just the same long list as last time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Brown Posted April 12, 2008 Share Posted April 12, 2008 Like I said, click "Open Folder Location". A new window should open with your file selected - right-click on it. What are the options you have now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lunamis Posted April 12, 2008 Author Share Posted April 12, 2008 now that I look closely, it doesn't have "open folder location" just "open file location" I did click that, went to the new window, right clicked and only got, Play Open file location Open Scan with AVG Open With >> Send to >> Cut Copy Create shortcut Delete rename properties Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
