| ? What is wrong ?
I have a problem with opening any bot that I download. Everytime I download a bot and try to open it the little "open with" box comes up and it tells me to select a program to open the bot with...what am I supposed to select or is this just happening because I have Windows 2000 it used to work. Downloading bots before when I had XP was no problem, but now its getting annoying.. |

| WinZIP - The most popular decompression software. WinRAR - Pretty popular aswell. It handles a lot of other filetypes. | |

| I'm guessing that was the problem as well...WinXP has an integrated decompression software for .zip files and .tar files (I think tar is supported...) Windows 2k however, does not.

| i would strongly suggest winRAR for decompression, because it opens RAR, ZIP as well as other comppresseion file types

| Yes, use Winrar, the reson it asked to open with something is because it didn't know what to do with the file types. WinRar > WinZip

| ...yeah, and when you run winrar, it just opens up the damned thing. If you need help with that, you need to hit Start > Shut Down and never touch a computer ever again in your life.
