Lisa,
I haven't used the unzip (unpack) utility that comes with Bookshare on my BN
more than about once because I'm not a US citizen, but I would have thought
that is what you need to do to unpack the .exe within the .zip file first.
You can't just rename it.

Subject: [Braillenote] still unable to run hidden security patch
Hi
Okay the hidden security dialogs patch for KS still will not run. Here
are the steps I am taking.
1. I go to Humanware's home page.
2. I link on the ^. downloads.
3. I link on the words Braillenote downloads.
4. I go to the section that talks about the hidden security patch. I
download where the link says to download it.
6. The file downloads with the extension zip.
7. I go to the file manager menu where I locate the file. The file still
has the zip extension.
8. I rename the file with the exe extension. Unfortunately the file
will not allow me to rename just the extension. I rename the file exactly
the way it is written hiddensecuritydialogs in uncontracted Braille. I
add the dots 4-6 for the period and the letters exe.
9. I go to the utilities menu. There I press a to run the application.
The BN asks which directory and the file is found. The file has the exe
extension.
10. The BN says not valid WIN 32 application.
Any ideas? I don't mind redownloading the file and deleting it several
times daily. Something this simple shouldn't be this difficult.
Thanks for your help and your time.
Lisa
