Re: Unable to run Guide8 from my laptop

Hi Bill,

No, I installed Guide8 on this laptop hard drive a couple of years
ago. Now it seems I have even lost my CD-ROM of it. I went to the site
http://www.projectpluto.com/new.htm, and I clicked on "click here to
download the 32-bit Windows version". That got me guide8.zip. What is
that, the updates? I opened it with WinZip, and it gives me a window
listing 100 files, 1871 KB. What do I do with that? I never learned
how to use WinZip.

Do I click on Extract? Wizard?

Should these files be copied into my GUIDE8 folder? How do I do that?
