Sending sets

Post by MadaMaoriJR » Tue Feb 16, 2010 10:05 am

Hey all howzt (how is it going!)

Ive PMd a setup to afew people thru here (I will not send my sets INGAME anymore!) and when half of them go to open it they get a window saying enter KSR user name and PW, Now this only happens to half the people i sent the set to and there user/pw does not open the file(zip).

Can any help to explain why this happens to only a few? Is the problem @ my end or theres? Is it because im sending as a ZIP and not a RAR?

Thanks for any help givin

Not sure MMJ. I opened the setup you send me with Winrar, extracted it and copied to my user name etc and it worked fine.

Maybe it's just a case of people that you've send it to via a PM have to download Winrar http://www.filehippo.com/download_winrar_32/

Winzip isn't free, and their "evaluation" version has probably expired ... meaning you need a username/password to verify you have purchased it.

Either send it as a RAR or tell them to download WinRAR, as WinRAR also opens Zip files

WinRAR > WinZIP.
