Read this first
A fix that usually works, and which renders this program useless:
Hi, first post here :-D, ok, i was having the exact same problem and i had k-lite codec pack installed, maybe you are on a similar situation
the game apparently has some incompatibility with the avi splitter, a filter that comes with some codec packs. you can either uninstall it or disable it, in k-lite codec pack this can be done by acessing the Codec Tweak tool that comes together, under "disable filter" tab find Avi Splitter (Gabest) and check it, there you go, hope this helps :-)
In a case that it didn't work for any reason, read the tutorial. You got any questions / problems? Read it again. You might not get an answer to your problem if you ask for anything that is already covered here.
Tutorial - Part1
I've been told, that my gypt *could* be a mystery to some of you, and it's usage to most of you :P. There you go - a tutorial (with screens :)) to use it which covers skipping the gondola crash.
First of all: We need a copy of FF7 that hangs up when playing some of the FMVs, so if your FF7 runs OK, you'll need to change your PC or OS to the correct one :) (seriously, if you're the lucky one and don't experience those crashes, you can stop reading now).
Ok... how to use it? First of all, download it here:
Link to gypt (http://dziugo.republika.pl/ff7/gyptNEW.rar)
...and run it. You'll see something like this:
(http://republika.pl/dziugo/images/gypt/7.JPG)
You can forget about that proggy for a while. Run FF7 and load your save-game. Play as normal as you can :P When you get to this point:
(http://republika.pl/dziugo/images/gypt/1.JPG)
(if you don't see this image, it's Cloud and Aeris in the GhostHotelRoom just before the date)
You have to press Ctrl+Shift+F11.
(http://republika.pl/dziugo/images/gypt/2.JPG)
You *should* hear a Beep coming from your Speakers (if your OS is configured to play those :P).
Again, play normally as before. After the GreatPlay, when your Date normally suggests a gondola ride, you should see something like this:
(http://republika.pl/dziugo/images/gypt/3.JPG)
(this is kinda cool, that FF7 just handles this instead of hanging up)
As Aeris says...
(http://republika.pl/dziugo/images/gypt/4.JPG)
...press Ctrl+Shift+F12 and the gypt should stop. You should also hear a Beep again:
(http://republika.pl/dziugo/images/gypt/5.JPG)
gypt is inactive. Save as soon as possible and restart FF7 (you can close gypt now).
Tutorial - Part2
This part of tutorial will cover the usage of the program without using the shortcuts (Ctrl+Shift+F11 and Ctrl+Shift+F12).
Download the program (link above) and run it:
(http://republika.pl/dziugo/images/gypt/7.JPG)
Launch the FF7. Now Alt-Tab from the game, press the "Refresh" button, and you should see something like this:
(http://republika.pl/dziugo/images/gypt/8.JPG)
If the "Previous Window" and/or "Next Window" buttons are active, it means, that you run more than one instance of FF7. Use these buttons to choose the correct FF7-Window:
(http://republika.pl/dziugo/images/gypt/10.JPG)
When you're sure, that this is the correct window, press the "Guard" button.
(http://republika.pl/dziugo/images/gypt/6.JPG)
It caption will change to "Stop" (could be seen above). To stop the guarding, press that button again.
Part3 - Questions and Answers
Q: When to use gypt?
A: Basically it should be activated just before going to Bugenhagen to see his demo and before the date in Gold Saucer.
Q: When closing gypt it says something like "Address wasn't know, please send the debug.dat to the author of the program". What to do?
A: Send the file that had appeared in your gypt directory. It will contain your save-game. Send it to me only if you're ok with that. Sending that file ensures the future gypt-compatibilty with your version of FF7.
Q: Link is dead. Can't download this program. What to do?
A: PM me.
Q: gypt doesn't work with TheSaiNt's HighRes patch. I like this patch and don't want to uninstall it. What to do?
A: It has been fixed. Be sure to download the latest version.
Q: I downloaded some file, but I can't run it. Why?
A: The program is rar-compressed. You need a program to decompress it. Google for RAR.
Q: I have a problem that wasn't mentioned above. What to do?
A: Post it here. I'll try to answer it ASAP.
-
Very nice work, this shoud hopefully solve some peoples problems :)
-
That is handy, nice work. It's definitely has useful features a pure save file editor couldn't do now. (btw, that's on its way too)
-
Let's see...
I am using standard 1.2 patch version with
[The_SaiNt] Hi-Res patch
Chocobo Patch
and I am stuck at Cosmo Canyon.
Process:
I load my saved game. I have spoken with Rex's father already and have selected my group. (Ares & Berret) I run gypt. I click refresh an no character information appears.
Any suggestions?
Thanks!
-
Thanks for info.
The SaiNt's patch changes the FF7Window's Caption, and gypt simply can't detect it... It has been fixed and should work with future releases of HighRes patch...

-
I thought that it was an active window naming issue.
Thank you for the great work you've done on this.
-
It works for me at the Gondola part, but I have a question. Why does everything move very slowly after I activate gypt (ctrl + shift + f11)? Is it supposed to be like that?
-
Thx for info.
I changed the priority of the guard-thread to normal for some reason (debugging? :P) and forgot to set it back to some lower one... This will be corrected in a few hours...
dziugo
-
...might what to add a Q:
Q: What is a *.rar file?
A: it's like *.zip file. Find and install a program called Winrar to decompress.

-
Cool. Well thanks for fixing it, gypt helped me get by lots of places.
-
THis was beautiful! Thank you so much. I was going to post my 2 gil worth on here about the Cosmo Canyon freeze but this worked wonderfully.
-
I was wondering...does this program work with all FMV related crashes or just the Date, and the Observatory ones?
The reason I ask is because I still hear a few people having problems with the Bronco FMV.
-
It's coded to bypass CosmoCanyon&GoldSaucer crashes, however, some people say it helped them with other crashes too. I would code it to support Bronco crash, but (thanks go to Larken) now I (probably :P) know what's causing those problems, so I'm working on some "ultimate-fix" :lol:.

It doesn't work on the part in Junon, where Weapon is coming to attack. :( Where the fat guy starts running then he stops... Blink! Blink! Can you please do something about this?
-
It doesn't work on the part in Junon, where Weapon is coming to attack.
It's not coded to do so... You can send me your save-game if you want, and I'll get you past that part of the game.

Is this the same part where Tifa and Barret have been arrested and are to be executed when all of a sudden weapon attacks and Hiedegar and Rufus are talking? If so, I am having the same issue. If I were to post my save file, would you pass it to the next for me? Much appreciated.

Heh...that's why I quit offering to playthru. You get over-runned.

Bump (or, should I say, reviving?) & Update:
Bug reported (http://forums.qhimm.com/viewtopic.php?t=5082) by Jearom had been fixed. There is one unique combination of plot progression variables which gypt didn't recognize. Fixed. Download link hadn't changed (Edit: or maybe it had...).

when's the exact time i have to use GYPT in cosmo canyon??
-
Just before going to Bugenhagen to see his "demo". Make sure you have 3 characters in your party.
dziugo
-
but it doesnt work with me...."GUARD" didnt change to "STOP" whenever i click it...is there something i missed? i already clicked REFRESH and it recognizes my FF7 but it still doesnt remove the crashed fmv..
thanks!!
-
The best thing to do is:
1) Run gypt and don't touch anything (even the "refresh" button)
2) Run FF7 & Load your save-game
3) Press Ctrl-Shift-F11
4) Press Ctrl-Shift-F12
5) Save
6) Close FF7
7) Close gypt
5 & 6 are optional, but FF7 doesn't really like Alt-Tabbing. Still doesn't work? Send me your save-game...

still doesnt work for me....there's still no "BEEP" in here...it doesnt responds to CTRL+SHIFT+F11.....heres my save game,its in the 2nd slot..

If you're suffering from FMV crashes, check this (http://forums.qhimm.com/viewtopic.php?p=68646#68646). It's a new version of Gypt with slightly different approach. It can help you skip any FMV that is played or supposed to played.

Hello dziugo!
First thanks again for what you are doing for us all...Then a malicious question...Can you tell us a little more about your "ultimate fix" you spoke about some months ago on this thread ? :wink:
Thanks! :love:

Hmm... The project was abandoned few months ago. Even if I wanted to resurrect it, I don't have time.

Great work
installed the game and hadn't played since PS was popular, then spent time trying to fix the observatory problem. almost gave up until I found this
thanks bruv

there´s no message...i use it but there is no beep.. i try it but i can´t watch all the video... help please! :-(

Use the second part of tutorial (using gypt without shortcuts). If there are any problems, reply. Oh, and what version of FF7 you have?
dziugo
-
yes I try it too, but: there appear a "stop" and I don´t know when it finishes with the save...
P.D.=Im from Spain, so my english isn´t very good xD
-
Just enable it and play. Stop it when the whole group gathers around the fire in the center of Cosmo Canyon (which means that you've skipped the problematic scene).

before i go to de the movie i play it (the program) and then i play normal the game but it crash too...

Could someone help me to continue playing ?

Hi, i followed yout tutorial but the problem is still there : in Cosmo Canyon, after playing the video, characters keep standing and i can't do anything.
When do enable it? Is there any error message? Looking at the second part of the tutorial, which part have you seen? Are the characters' names correct?
Ps : I'm playing on a french version, can it explain why your solution doesn't work ?
1.02 French ff7.exe? Upload it somewhere if it's not this version.

I enabled it just before speaking to Bugenhagen, everything seems correct in gypt but it did'nt work.
(http://img207.imageshack.us/img207/9015/gyptzo6.jpg)
There is no error message. The game is still running but i can't do anything except "q" to exit.
I also tried doing it before entering the observatory, in front of the door, but without more success.
Here is my ff7.exe
It is a no-cd exe and I had to use some patches to make it running under XP.
I don't know which version it is.
http://rapidshare.de/files/29303059/ff7.exe.html
Thanks for your help.
-
Can you send me unmodified ff7.exe from your Install CD?
What you need to do, to make it work:
- Run FF7, load your saved game
- Run gypt and press "Refresh" button - it will freeze for a while (and I don't mean 5 seconds)
- When gypt starts responding again (characters' names will appear), press the "Guard" button and wait until it starts responging again (about the same amount of time)
- Go into FF7 and check if characters are sitting around the fire (if they aren't, keep reentering this location)
- Press "Stop" button in gypt and wait until it starts responding, then close it
- Don't send me debug info, I have it already
Should work...

Still doesn't work for me either. The CTRL-SHIFT-F11 thing didn't make any beep so I tried to 2nd part, alas it still doesn't work.. if I start guarding before talking to Bugenhagen at the elevator to start the FMV, which ultimately crashes, all he says is... "Nanaki? His father a coward? So that's it...Nanaki's been thinking that all this time..." and doesn't even let me go up the elevator to view the FMV.

Might want to help, if you said what do you want to accomplish.

To get passed the crash following the FMV.

When Buggy says "Nanaki, his father a coward? (...)" it means that the scene had been skipped. That's the only way now... I think...

Hi dziugo
I recently got gypt to help me out in the date and gondola scenes. Now I'm stuck again in the 'weapon' part of the game... This is really frustrating, because Ive already downgraded my PC to work with Win 98 and it still doesnt work. Could you please help me out? My savegame is down below.
Now lastly I would like to know how much more places like this are there in the game? Cause recently its just every freakin one of the scenes...

Hey dziugo, you're great for helping everyone out. I emailed you my save. I'm [email protected]
I'm stuck at where Tifa is helping Cloud regain himself. If you could get me past that part, I'll appreciate it. Thanks man.

I'm having a somewhat different and potentially more complicated problem. When I get on the tram to the Golden Saucer, it goes through the movies (I think it calls upon 3 seperate movies, the take off, the "flyby", then the "landing/parking" videos). After that last video, when the train pulls into the spot, the screen goes black. I've had issues in the past with the Bungenhagen video, but never the Saucer. I'm used the chocobo patch, the truemotion patch, and lastly, the XP patch. Everything else up to now has been running fine for the most part, and I've been playing for about 4 hours (I installed the patches before I started playing, so I've been playing with them since the beginning). I tried several solutions: changing the CD and using one of the other ones to bypass (through a saved game editor), nothing. I saved the movies from disc 1 onto my hard drive and edited the registry entry. It runs a little better, but that doesn't help either. I have tried gypt, and even control+shift+F11 gets me a "beep", but doesn't seem to affect the videos.
If you can help, http://www.frayedlogic.com/download/save00.ff7 is my saved game (slot 1 or 2, I use redundant saves if I'm going to mess with the file).
Much obliged!
-
Correction: I'm using the official 1.02 patch (I know I had downloaded the xp patch, but didn't install it). I even uninstalled and reinstalled, using only the 1.02 patch and the chocobo patch, but I'm still getting the same issue.
-
Next time, just email me. When you post it on the board, I read it and then (usually) forget about it :P
Link (http://dziugo.republika.pl/misc/CrazyPavarottiMan.rar).
-
Sorry about that :)
and thank you for fixing the save game file. I was actually going to post don't worry about it. I reinstalled the game, re-reran the 1.02 patch, and the hi-res patch (which actually didn't work for me :( but not only did it solve the Gold Saucer issue, I didn't even get hung up in Bungenhagens lab!

Why use gyptNEW?
Isn't it possible to get past all the problematic scenes like Cosmo Canyon, Junon weapon,... by using your newer and easier-to-use GyptInstant included in YAMP??? http://forums.qhimm.com/index.php?topic=5124.0

It's wider known and easier to use.

None of these work here.
I have all the patches here: http://fem1.uniag.sk/Miroslav.Jezik/ff7ncopam.html
NOT including the following:
Upside-down FMV cutscenes patch
NoDialogBoxesPatch
9999LimitBreakingPatch
LuckyTifa
LuckyCaitSith
FF7PC Hand Patch mod v01.6
Advent Avatars mod
Scene Redux v1.2
I am having problems at Cosmo Canyon at the space presentation by the old man.
It plays the movie of the shooting star then it just shows everyone standing around blinking, totally un responsive. All I can do is exit.
I tried using this gypt exe, but when I do and when I talk to the old fella to start the show, he just talks about Nanaki's father and such. Then nothing else.
Is there nothing else to do? The old man talking about Nanaki, does that mean the whole sequence is skipped?
EDIT: Dam, well it is what I thought. The gypt.exe gets around the problem, but it skips the whole Lifestream talk sequence, which sucks :cry:, but at least it is possible to continue now...
-
There you go (http://ie.youtube.com/watch?v=nI1e_WAG7VY). It doesn't hang on youtube.
-
Regardless, I think the next time I play FF VII I think I'll just play it the way its meant to be played, on the PS. (These Cosmo Issues were for my sister who is playing it on the PC).
-
AFAIK, Cosmo Canyon crash is not PC specific :P
-
i emailed you the file. i appreciate it if you can help. thanks :-D
-
Well, I didn't get it yet, but I can tell you know, that I can't playthrough people as I don't have FF7. I'd suggest you to post your saved game here (http://forums.qhimm.com/index.php?topic=6843.0) and wait.

thanks! it solved my fmv problems... however, i can't use gypt on windows 98... can you please help me with these?.... please send your reply at [email protected]...

Ok ok... It solved your fmv problems, but it doesn't work in windows 98? Play in the system that it worked in, then. Obviously you have some other system installed.

Hi, excuse me if this sounds extremely noobish of me, but how do you run the program? My computer doesn't know what to use for the . SRB file extension. Also, do I copy over the whole patches folder & the read me into the FFVII directory? Or do I just put in the files one at a time? I'm a total noob at this... Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
-
to anyone who can help me. My game freezes when Cait Sith runs away with the keystone. right after he gives the thingy to tseng and cloud runs up to him it freezes. its at the bottom stairs outside of chocobo racing. If someone would please just get past that goddamn point i would be very grateful. Just tell me and i'll send the file. unless you have an answer. i've tried every patch. not gypt tho.....and sadfully so, i have a vista. :-( :-( :-( :mrgreen:

another thing i don't understand is that its not really a movie scene, its like a character scene in the regular walk around graphics.oh great. he doesnt have ff7 anymore.lol nooooooo who will i find??????????

Why exactly didn't you press the Refresh button?

I have to say, thanks for the gypt program! Unfortunately with Vista, it crashed like everyone said, and this miracle of a program got me past it :-D In both cases! I was really lucky that my game didn't freeze at Junon when Weapon attacked :-D
Thanks again!!!

You either skip the whole scene or get it freeze at you. Your choice, can't be both.
-
I don't know if this'll help anyone, but I found a way to fix the problem without skipping the scene. I have Windows Vista Home Premium (32-bit) Service Pack 1, and K-Lite Codec Pack installed on my computer. Codec Tweak Tool came with it, and after I disabled AVIsplitter (Gabest), it fixed the two freezes, and finally made the polygon characters function correctly with the FMV's. I also made the game read the movie's from the hard drive, so that might of helped too. I can now go through FF7 without glitches or freezes (as far as I know).
I don't know if having AVIsplitter off all the time is bad, but I haven't seen any problem with it so far. It's easy to turn off and on, so if it needs to be on it's not problem.
I would think this would work for everyone else too. Tell me if it's just my system, or perhaps I just got lucky (I believe I learned about that from the people here).
-
hmm. thanks. i'll try to figure something out anw. :-D
-
First post here, so hi.
My game was hanging at cosmo canyon at the laboratory, after reading your guide, removing K Lite Codec and having gypt running, it went past it first time no problems.
So a big thank you!
-
also got the crash at gold saucer on the date with aerith
gypt prevailed once more!
whoever made that program, huge thanks, again

When ever i try opening the gypt file it messes up and asks me to send a report to microsoft can any one help me?

nevermind i just had to download RAR this worked like a charm thanks alot!

hey people .. uhm hope someone is online to reply here fast^^ cant wait to continue the game
im also stuck at the observatory scene...
i tried gypt in that way
- started gypt
- started ff7
- load my game

- tabbing out, pressing refresh, waiting for respond
- after respond, pressing guard and checking ingame
now the problem - there is no campfire or anything .. even if i "reentering the scene"
im not sure but im using the unpatched version, because i have black models with 1.02, but ive installed new characters and all these small patches, like 9999 dmg limit break and such
game is german version... if needed i could upload my savegame

If there are no error messages from gypt, then Bugenhagen should be talking about Nanaki's father instead of taking you upstairs to watch the demo. And the campfire is outside the building, next to the town entrance - it's always there IIRC, it's just not litten before the demo.
-
yeah i noticed that some seconds after my post too x)
now, im a lil bit later in the story, i have a next problem, that "date" thingy from aeris and cloud .. after the gondel it hangs up like in the demo scene ... here in the first post is the tutorial, that says " start gypt - play until that "press ctrl shift bla" appears - press the buttons etc.. the problem is these dialouge doesnt appears .. how to use gypt manually at this point? if im in my room talking to her, making that guard thing before she pushes me out of the room, to go on??

You gotta be kidding...
-
ehm no? why should i?
it was just the normal question, if i have to use it on the same way like on that demo bug, because the idea at the first post does not work...
edit: omg -.-
i think i got it now :S you should say at these pictures that it is what you have to do there ... i for myself and im sure many other ppl thinks on that point, that the gypt makes the game bringing up that dialouge ...
im not stupid or smth like that, its just what i thought at the first read ...
edit2: well tried it now, refreshed and guard in the hotel room before the date, playing normal, played the "greatplay" but at the point cait sith should appear and the story moves on, it just keeps moving the normal way, the gondel scene and hanging up on it :( any idea?

Yes, there were thousands of people complaining about it! Oh no... wait... You're the first one :P Sorry, other people probably just tried to use it instead of asking questions. And yes, I know, your PC could've exploded if you did something wrong, but clearly it didn't this time.

thanks for the sarcasm... read my 2nd edit in my previous post please... i tried it now, and it didnt work

I don't know if this'll help anyone, but I found a way to fix the problem without skipping the scene. I have Windows Vista Home Premium (32-bit) Service Pack 1, and K-Lite Codec Pack installed on my computer. Codec Tweak Tool came with it, and after I disabled AVIsplitter (Gabest), it fixed the two freezes, and finally made the polygon characters function correctly with the FMV's. I also made the game read the movie's from the hard drive, so that might of helped too. I can now go through FF7 without glitches or freezes (as far as I know).
I don't know if having AVIsplitter off all the time is bad, but I haven't seen any problem with it so far. It's easy to turn off and on, so if it needs to be on it's not problem.
I would think this would work for everyone else too. Tell me if it's just my system, or perhaps I just got lucky (I believe I learned about that from the people here).
I've read this thread, and it seems to me like this post has slipped under the radar a little bit, everyone's complaining about gypt being tricky, when this simple little fix from freezingicekirby, sorted my cosmo canyon/planetarium crash straight away.
Aswell as that, now, when my game cuts to FMV, my characters stay in the right place in relation to where the scenery is moving to on the FMV, whereas before they would stay stood in their original position/size and end up looking totally out of place/proportion with the changing scenery of the video.
Im running ff7 with all of the good patches btw, 1.02, HighRes, YAMP, HQCloud, NPC RP, FF7Music, SceneRedux & Advent Avatars
I recommend his post to anyone playing ff7 in windows, tyvm freezingicekirby :-D
-
You do realise that this fix is posted in the first post on this thread, in the "Read this first" section, right? :P
-
gypt is very useful.
-
Hi there,
Yeah sorry dziugo, I knew I'd seen it somewhere, didn't realise it was at the beginning of this topic lol.
Just mentioned it because people keep on posting about having problems with gypt along time after freezingicekirby's post. I read the topic from the beginning so it felt like your post was alot older than freezingicekirby's b/c I had no idea ur post had been edited. I think this fix should be on all windows ff7 install guides tbh, and any stickys out there.
Yeah I dont deny gypt being useful, just this fix is very simple, and it fixed another of my bugs, where my characters were going out of proportion when my FMVs start.
-
Ah... Yes. I edited the first post after the post of freezingicekirby - linking to the first known (to me) post with the fix to the problem. I'm actually happy that the gypt is no longer needed, at least for some.
-
errrmm... me too have the same problem..well its been a years since no one posting again... :lol:
but i dont know how to send my save file???? pls help me
-
As of 2008, you don't use gypt and you don't send your saved game to anyone. You tweak your codec's setup until it works. That's the solution. If you got into trouble of obtaining a legal copy of FF7 over 10 years after the initial release then it shouldn't be a big problem for you to apply to the instructions in the first post.
I know it might sound harsh, but what you generally want, is to get someone to waste their own time and help you avoid the problem, while you should just get rid of that problem on your own. Yes, I know, just this one time, better to send the saved game, not a biggie. Oh, and then on the gondola crash, not that big of a deal again. Oh, and the bronco crash... And the black materia crash... And the weapon's attack crash... Not to mention a guy who asked to play his saved game over and over, because the people who were kind enough to do it, chose the wrong saved game - which turned out to be his fault!
Yes, I'm sure you'll find someone who will help you, but you're better off posting your request here (http://forums.qhimm.com/index.php?topic=6843.0). If I have a free time to spare, I'd be more than happy to play it through for you. This thread, however, is about the program I wrote and, as it is unlikely that I'll release any updated version, should be left alone.
-
okay....actually i already get past that cosmo crash...until the fogotten capital(after bugenhagen replace the key of ancient city)... :-)
-
It helped me twice thanks dziugo for making it , but id didnt help at ancient city when key is inserted then it shows a movie the screen gets black and thats the end , i will lvl up till somebody will play it.

For the problem with the Tifa, Aerith, Barret date at Gold saucer i found this way to skip it.
source: http://ff7.fr/version_PC.php#round (French)
For english speakers it say ...
For the video crash at Round Square you can fix it by download "Jenova" (http://ff7.fr/logiciels.html#Jenova) (save editor).
First save you game just before coming to the arena.
Extract the program on your FF7 directory and run the Jenova.exe load your save and follow this steps.
1. click on Misc, Specific Location and Debug Room.
Close the windows by clicking on "Ok" and close the program.
2. Run the game and load your save, you are now in a black background room, just change room by pressing your "Down" key.
3. In the new room with characters model press your "Change" key and a window with 2p will appear.
4. Now go the speak with the Yuffie at the top left hand corner and select nigeta cs no saigo.
Now the crash scene is skip you can play as usual.
PS: As you can see I'm not a native English's speaker so my English is not very good but you can read it ?!, right ?

Hi! I'm Spanish so my english is... :oops: jejeje I've just applied "gypt" to my save game and it was perfect! I was in canyon cosmo as so many people. I got it with the -tutorial part2-. Thank you so much! :-D
-
...and run it. You'll see something like this:
You can forget about that proggy for a while. Run FF7 and load your save-game. Play as normal as you can Tongue When you get to this point:
(if you don't see this image, it's Cloud and Aeris in the GhostHotelRoom just before the date)
OKAY WHAT EXACTLY SHOULD I BE SEEING? the file i downloaded "windows cannot open this file" cause it doesnt have the proper program. so is this suppose to happen???
EDIT: NEVER MIND! I realized i had to download WinRAR THX im gonna go see if it works now :)
