Smith lake cant get anything unzipped and working. Can anyone explain if he has to have a folder to download too and then unzip or what.

[fifties]

Yes, he should set up a specific folder for his Platinum, and keep the loader and all files in it.

The loader and dll HAVE to be kept in the same folder.

All files get downloaded zipped, so he simply needs to obtain Winzip off the net and implement it. Then he merely right-clicks on the zipped file, and selects, "extract here", to reveal the bin.

[jimwd]

After a folder has been made and then he goes to download the loader etc. does he specify that particular folder to be downloaded into.

[fifties]

Well yes, obviously he needs to keep all related files together in one folder.

The loader may be in a folder, INSIDE the Platinum folder, by itself, with it's dll.

He would then open THAT folder, click on the loader, and use it to grab the latest file in the outer folder.

Platinum Folder

>>>>>>> Platinum Bins

>>>>>>> Loader Folder

i set up a folder under my documents than download info to that folder.i use winrar for extracting files.i find it to be the easiest program to extract from. good luck
