whenever I download a program it comes up in MSWord only. I can't run the program. I've tried to rightclick on the program to open with Winzip and it errors out saying it is a format it can't understand. How can I repair this. Thanks

Hi Rich, parker, hi everyone,
I guess the association of .ZIP files was altered! Let's do it again: - run Windows Explorer - select a Zip file - keep the finger on Shift while right-clicking on the zip file - in the menu, choose Open with... - in the Open with dialog box, enable "Always use this program to open files of this type" - look for WinZip and click on OK
That's it (I hope)!
Have a good day, Gérard from Paris, France

I'm trying to download .exe files but they only come up in MY Download Files Folder as MSWord documents. As an example I tried to download a driver for my canon printer. the file name is (i550_98we_7409.exe)but it only comes in msword document gibberish. Thanks

When you go to download it, Right click on the link and select "Save Target As". You should get a Save As dialog box where you can choose the destination folder and the Filename of choice. The filename should default to the original file's name with the correct extension.
