Don't know what's going on here... can anyone help J out?

Try finding that file and renaming it, putting a .zip extension on the end of it. Or maybe his computer thinks that .zip files should be openned with WordPad for some reason? Maybe he doesn't have WinZip (I doubt it but it could be plausible).

Thank you, Sticks, for that informative and priceless information. :)

Heh... I asked him today. I pointed him to your answer and guess what... of all the possibilities, he doesn't have WinZip. Problem solved, hopefully. Again, thank you.
