HELP!!
I am having a heck of a problem with Windows 7 in trying to download and
extract the k3fw3r68 zip file to update my K3. It must be a Win 7 issue
because I did not have the problem with XP
First problem is I cannot not even download it to a folder. I go to the FTP
website, click on the zip file and that opens up the File download window.
Then I click on SAVE, that gives me the save as window with the file name
k3fw3r68. For lack of a better place, I just tried to save it to COMPUTER/
Local Disk C:, I click on SAVE and it runs through the save routine, and
the window closes (does not stay open to ask me if I want to OPEN or OPEN
FOLDER); but when I check on local Disk C, there is no folder there.
Can't even save the darn file to a flash drive.
On my other computer, I was able to save the file to flash drive and then
transfer it to the computer I am running the K3 on.
However when I try and extract the files (unzip) I have no luck at all.
What am I doing wrong with Windows 7?
