    does anyone know why that all of a sudden when i added a new set of clones "aliens" my other clones "astroids" collision codes got screwed up. now it seems only one astroid is active all the time. for only one can be shot, then when that one blows up, a different one can be shot, making it seem that only one astroid is actually "active" the whole time.

    Before when i only had astroids, you could shoot any of them and they would blow up, why isnt this working now?

    WinZip operates on a try and buy model, unfortunately. I don't mess with it. However, a good free utility called TUGZip may help (http://www.tugzip.com/), or just use Windows' Compressed Folders feature (if you have WinXP).

    That helps. Now to do this, open the folder containing the files you need to pack. Then, position the pointer over the white space in the file listing, press the rightmost button on your mouse, point to New and choose Compressed Folder or similar. Then name the new compressed folder to whatever you want, and blammo! Instant zip file. Now all you have to do is drag the file you want to pack into the compressed folder, upload it here and you're done.

    Got that?

    Oh okay, sorry to confuse you - you can do whatever works best for you. But to do the compressed folders thing, if you take that route, you have to do it on the desktop, the hard disk, my documents or any other part of the file system (except my computer which can only be modified by Windows as it only contains references to hard disks, cd-roms, floppies, etc.).

    well that makes two of us. I've known computers for a loooooooooooooooong time and I know what user error sounds like.

    I don't blame you.
