Title: About AGS and Windows Xp
Post by: piraatlife4me on Fri 14/11/2003 03:45:40
Yes Hello out there! I have a problem what is an RAR file? And what is it its's association with AGS? The problem I am having is it is taking other game files on my machine and associating them with RAR files and making them unusable. It's like AGS is taking over my machine or something. I can manually change what the file opens up with but I don't know what I should change it to? Or better how do I fix it? Does anyone out there know what I am talking about or has anyone else had this problem before if so please let me know
Thanks
Daniel

RAR is a compression format, like ZIP. It has nothing to do with AGS.

You've probably downloaded an AGS game that was compressed into a RAR archive - you'll need something like winrar ( http://www.rarlab.com/download.htm ) to read it.

Yeah and note that winrar is a lot better than winzip, so use that instead
