| When I download the speed camera data base it will not open using 7Zip. the size is only 148Kb and appears corrupted. Any idea of what's going on? I've just paid the monthly subscription using my credit card. |

| Thanks dave. Winzip extracted the files OK. looks like 7Zip does not like the database zip file! |

If you have Windows XP, that will unzip them itself, without you needing any exra programs.
Just right click or double click on the .zip file and select 'extract all'. |

Windows XP inbuilt compression/extraction will work fine for the database, but it is not a universal panacea! I've found that it won't zip large files if the resultant ZIP will be large that about 0.5 gig.
