The way I read the note, they were able to open up the archive, but they were trying to open specific files that make up the DAISY book. Many of these will not open or will not work right because one's computer doesn't have the ability to unlock the files as does a DAISY player. The trick is to copy the files into a folder on the device. I find it easiest to use the 7ZIP's "Extract to" option and then copy the resulting folder to the device to where talking books are supposed to be placed.

With windows explorer, when you first enter on a folder the item you land on isn't selected. Either press the space bar to select it or use the down arrow to move away from it, then up arrow to come back to it to select it, then hit enter to open it up. Give it a try and let's see if you can open up the zip archive's contents. >Best, >Steve > ----- Original Message ----- > From: Louis Gosselin > To: 'Steve Zielinski' ; 'Brenda' ; [email protected] > Sent: Wednesday, January 12, 2011 6:08 PM > Subject: RE: program for opening zip files and W-E > Well, I've just now tried opening the .zip file by just pressing Enter, and, > while I was able to see the list of files in the .zip, I was unable to hit Enter to open any of them. Generally I was asked to allow the web search to find a program for opening that file, and one of them even spoke to me, saying that I was not authorized to read this file. > > I have Windows XP sp3, and was experimenting with Windows Explorer to get > the above results. > > > > From: Steve Zielinski [mailto:[email protected]] > Sent: Wednesday, January 12, 2011 2:03 PM > To: Brenda; [email protected] > Subject: Re: program for opening zip files and W-E > > Just hit enter on the zip file archive and windows will open up the archive > for you. If you are using a Victor Reader stream, use the humanware companion program, as it makes transfering talking books easier, unzips the archives and places the folders where they belong for you. I suppose the booksense may also have similar features for extracting talking books. > > Steve > > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: Brenda > To: [email protected] > Sent: Wednesday, January 12, 2011 11:17 AM > Subject: program for opening zip files and W-E > > When getting the NLS books online you have to unzip them.
