The Twilight Zone


« on: June 15, 2012, 06:47:39 AM »

I have tried to download the Valkyrie manual several times without success. I don't know if its  bad link or on my end. I downloaded the newest version of Adobe reader but that didn't help.

This is what it said:

" Adobe reader could not open because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged( for example, it was sent as an email attatchment and wasn't correctly decoded."

I'm not too computer savvy so hopefully someone will know what this means.

Thanks, Tony

+1 on Jess's right click suggestion. Also keep in mind that it will take some amount of time to finish downloading and you won't be able to open it until it does. If your system shows the icon immediately after you select "save as," and you try to open it before the download finishes, you will also get a "damaged file" type of message. Give it a few minutes before you try to open it. Finally, don't close your browser window before it finishes.

I just downloaded it, unzipped it, and opened it in both Mac OS X and Windows XP without issue.
