IWCC CARS PROJECT

I recently downloaded several Nostalgia cars from the IWCC cars Project. When I try to run the .exe file it opens a DOS window with a message "This program requires Microsoft Windows." Do any of you guys know how I can install these cars? Thanks, Kerry Grant

When the Run dialog box comes up, click the Browse button. 3. Find the directory that you downloaded to (in this case, it's your browser's main directory). 4. Select the file, then click Open. 5. The name of the file should appear in the Run dialog box. Click OK. James Gegner ICQ#: 16175099

Wrong... The file is bad! Download another one! Try right clicking on the file and do a save as. The Pits sites have been having a BIG problem with their .exe files lately. If you have or can get GetItRight it will eliminate this problem asap...........

You can unzip them (with pkunzip ofcorse). They are just self extracing archives

Wrong again! The file is corrupt if you see a "This program requires Microsoft Windows." message within Windows...

Use MS Internet Explorer to download the file. The pits' .EXE's don't download with netscape very well :(

For some reason, Netscape doesn't handle the downloads from The Pits very well. (It used to) I've had to log on with IE a few times lately to download files. Jim

What version of netscape do you use. Got Netscape 4.06 and ALL files download with no problem and i've downloaded many files from them. By the way Microsoft should have included netscape with WIN98 not MSIE. Netscape kicks ass!

I used Microsoft Internet Explorer and the files downloaded with no problems. I use the Beta of Netscape 4.5. I guess I will check to see if they have a more recent version. Thanks everyone for your help. Kerry Grant > What version of netscape do you use. Got Netscape 4.06 and ALL files > download with no problem and i've downloaded many files from them.
