RickyOswaldIOW Posted September 28, 2007 Posted September 28, 2007 Greetings, I've been using tessource.com for a while now but since it's moved over to tesnexus.com some of the files have been downloading as [filename].7zI've never seen this format before, any ideas?
ninja_lord666 Posted September 29, 2007 Posted September 29, 2007 Do you have Windows? Of course you do. Windows can't open .7z file formats. You'll need a third party software to extract the files. The most common is WinRAR.
TheTerminator2004 Posted September 29, 2007 Posted September 29, 2007 But Winrar is just a 30-day trial. Get Izarc, it's free and opens just about every file type known to man (and a few which aren't).
RickyOswaldIOW Posted September 29, 2007 Author Posted September 29, 2007 I have WinRar, I've tried changing the extension to .zip and .rar and simply tried opening the file with WinRar with the .7z extension.
RickyOswaldIOW Posted September 29, 2007 Author Posted September 29, 2007 But Winrar is just a 30-day trial.You can use it for a lot longer than 30 days, just unregistered :P
TheTerminator2004 Posted September 29, 2007 Posted September 29, 2007 Well, the one I tried refused to work at all after 30 days.... Even so, IZarc is still a lot better- its more reliable, and it can open a lot more file types. And if Winrar won't open it, the best thing to do is to try a different archiver, so you know if the problem's with the file or the program. Finally, if that doesn't work, redownload the file and try again- it might have got corrupted somehow.
pete3031 Posted September 30, 2007 Posted September 30, 2007 http://www.7-zip.org/download.html freeware, will open these files, but there are other utilities just as good out there
