Could it be a rar problem? As soon as I got OD I uninstalled WinZip and replaced it with ObjectZip, no problems there. I haven't used WinRAR in awhile, so I'm not sure if I can directly help you. My guess would be that there's one main exe file in the list that installs it, and just displays every other file for the heck of it.

mostly blinds aren't zipped. change the extension to .wba and double click it.

You might also try to 'save as... all files' and see if it comes in as a .wba.

Or use FireFox, it want's to open with correct programs.

No, actually this is a Window XP SP2 problem. See Corky O's tutorial on Downloading at this Link

If I understand correctly: .wba is just a different zip file that wbloader understands and uses... so some browsers (IE) try to save it as a zip & some programs convert it to their zip extension.
