I'm a huge fan of Steel Panthers, but I had to reformat my computer and lost my copy. I just downloaded it agian, but I can't unzip it. It says something like "data failed to inflate." Can anyone help me please?

Sounds somewhat like zip packet corruption. you can try some other unzip program, but......

Czerka,

If you want, PM me your address and I'll burn a copy of the zip file and shoot it off to you via snail mail.
The best defense is a good offense...

If something is corrupted, perhaps scandisk and defrag would help.

Hello
has it been determined that your copy that you downloaded is even valid?
Alas, you may require a totally new download.
Did you use a decent download manager. I particularly like Getright (which explains why it is made available on the site here).

Your inability to unzip may be a reflection of some element being missing, something that might have failed to download.

I am mostly computer iliterate though, so keep that in mind hehe.
I LIKE that my life bothers them,
Why should I be the only one bothered by it eh.
