Broken Icons?

I don't know if this has been mentioned before, but a number of icon downloads, particularly the Blizzard ones, have nothing in them at all. I've downloaded about 10 or so and all of them are completely empty.

If this is old news I apologize, but can it be fixed? :(

Thanks

If you have winzip, just save-as the file to your desktop or soemthing and try opening or extracting from there.

I have the Windows XP extracting tool. The problem is, it won't extract anything b/c nothing is in the zipped foler I DL. It does this to any icon pack I DL.

I download the icon pack (right clicking and selecting "Save As"), and then when I go to extract it, the extraction wizard won't progress past the point of a selected destination. I choose "My Documents" (or desktop) and nothing happens, I just keep clicking "Next" over and over and over again. If I explore the compressed document, it reveals that there's nothing inside of it. It's just an empty zip folder. :(

I don't know if it's b/c the links are broken, or if my comp. won't DL them properly, but I do already have an unzipping program. Thanks for the help, though.

I don't recommend any windows products, so you should really try to save-as and open with winzip.

Oh, I'll give winzip a shot then. Is there any version that is free, though?


EDIT: I found a trial version, it should do. For 21 days at least. o_O

You can use it forever, but you are supposed to pay for it.

Well, it worked! Thaks a lot, Draco. I'm not sure why the XP one didn't work, but whatever. I appreciate the help. ^_^

Yeah, I was trying to DL some of the ones made by Blizz. They used to work w/ the Windows XP unzip, but stopped for some reason. Winzip will work.

:o spyware? I hope that's not the case. Either way, I already uninstalled winzip.

It doesn't contain spyware. He's just saying that for who knows what reason.

Problem Solved? Closed.
