I don't know if I downloaded it wrong or what, but every time i try to open the zip folder in 'downloads' it says it's [not a valid Win32 application], and every time I try to open/copy/or move it to the 'Fonts' folder from the control panel/fonts/install a new font it says [not a valid font file and cannot be installed]. how do i fix this??

Can you tell step by step what you did? That is, every step you did.
Like: 1. I clicked the download link ... etc.

With your unzip software, can you unzip other zip files ?

I don't think Julie understands your question Menhir. So let's wait for her step by step story.
