I am a member on another site for a Pontiac vibe. they have a repair manual that you can dl form a site call megaload. I did the dl and have it on my desktop in adobe form(9.2) when i try to open it it says the file is corruped possible from being sent thru email.I have right clicked it to see if i can unzip it but i dont see anything like that. I have dl it 3 times same thing every time. on the thread for it it says you need to use nero or something similiar that burns iso images. I tried to burn it and that does not work. any help would be appreciated.

HI, ok i was able to DL the file, unzipped it using winrar, and i have a copy of the ISO file that now would need to be burnt onto CD, then after i would burn it i would be able to view the cd's contents as a book. Have you ever burnt a ISO file before? if not you might need to read up on how to.... I use NERO myself so that is self explanitory. do you know some one who is more computer advanced that can help you? adobe will not be able to open this file for you, not until it is burnt properly.
