Can't open a downloaded comic
« on: March 15, 2011, 04:01:17 PM »
I am unable to open a comic (my first) which I downloaded from http://goldenagecomics.co.uk/index.php?ACT=dl&id=15814&symid=15847&sess=637386624bf2943b83f126a0ea399a27 , which is Captain_Marvel_Adventures__Fawcett__005__1941_CMA_000.cbr .

I've tried eComics, ComicRacks and I've even renamed it to a .rar extension and tried to open it with WinRAR, but nothing works. I'm a little suspicious of the file itself, because it shows up as being only 8 KB in size.  ???

Can anyone help?

P.S. My system is Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit.

Download the file again and see if the entire file downloads. Have you tried CDisplay? I sometimes use FilZip or TugZip to unpack jpegs into a windows folder that is readable via CDisplay.

I will credit your downloads and such. Others will chime in also.

This is my second try at a reply. The first one didn't appear.

I re-downloaded the comic, then as you advised loaded CDisplay. The combination worked!

Thank you!

I know this is late, but I'm glad the issue worked for you.
