Just have to practice. It ain't hard, most of the time you save the file where you want it to be and in that folder right click the zip file and click "extract here". (this is how it is on my computer) it will unzip the file into a smt file. When that happens you can open the Smarty sender and choose the smt file and send.

Erase that file and try to download it again from mads site. Don't try to open it first. Once its saved to the folder you want (I usually keep my files in separate folders) you should be able to right click the zip file and extract here in the same folder. You should see a status bar pop up and it should extract. Make sure you are using the CDM.2.00.00 driver and the SmartyUSB downloader. (this is if ya'll use Windows XP or Vista.)

yeah there has got to be a problem with it or something cause i didn't have a problem when bob emailed it to me. If noone can figure just how to unzip it i really don't see the problem, make a smarty folder on desktop, download 7zip from mads into that folder, then download the file you want and save it to the smarty folder, right click on file and 7zip it there
