give more detail. Does the icon turn into something windows cannot recognize, if it does u should she the icon that looks like a paper with icons on it. That means u have to choose what to run it with, if thats the case go to download.com, and search for Winrar. Winrar can find the program to run the game with, just install it and open the game through winrar. Im guessing this is what ur looking for, it not give more detail.

Ok,

I have winrar installed, when i download a zip file, lets say for example pacman zip, i will double click the icon in the libary and it will autimatically go to winrar and unzip ityself into a icon that has some picture on it.. when i click this new icon in winrar it will load a page with like a picture viewer or something ie the game will not work... i think it may be unzipping itself into a wrong program or something.. whaty do i do?? cause i cannot play any games i unzip!! also do i need a emulator or a program to play some larger games that are zipped?? say for example warcraft or should it just play wen i download it

i just downloaded a rtype zip file.. and i unzipped it and about 10 BIN icons were created! i double clicked one of these icons and a box appears and says: you are attempting to open a file type BIN, these files are used by the operating system and by various programs. Editing them may damage your system.... then another box appeared and said: To open the file windows needs to know what program created it, browse the web or select a program manuelly!! what program do i use?? what am i doing wrong
