Generally, when you are putting a file in the utilities part of the unit, you can't open it with the Book Share utility. However, if you have a pc, since it's not working, you may try opening it. Generally, Carol, you can rename these when it's a download that will run through utilities.

patch

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
