Unable To View Attatchments (Resolved)

[Frank Defert]

I am new to this forum and must say it is a real find for me particularily the laser engraver cnc router thread !
I am unable to view any attatchments. They open but all I end up with is jumble of text. I tried several different attatchments and they are all the same.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks .... Frankl

Hi Keith,

I tried again to view Carol Van Arnam's wine bottle attatchment in the lasers and cnc routers thread and am still getting a jumle of text and figures. I checked my email again and I have received a registration confirmation.

Frank, if you are using FireFox, you'll need to right click on a ZIP attachment, and download to your machine before you open it.

No Firefox here Jim.

Frank,

Right click, and Save As.

Thanks Aaron that did the trick. I was able to open it with Corel 12 after saving it to the desktop. However it just begs the question " How do I configure my browser to open these attatchments? "

Thanks Frank
