Hi Chris,
The only reason I can think of is if you changed your Bookshare password. If
I'm not mistaken, the password you use when unzipping the book has to mirror
the one you used when downloading the book, initially.

HI, Lynn. Thanks. I did try as you suggested and use the extract choice
rather than just copying and pasting, and a couple files that are in the
zipped folder did get moved, but the actual book didn't. And when I entered
my password, it said my password was invalid one time, and then it didn't
seem to. It acted all weird. I wonder if it's possible for my password not
to work on one particular book because of some reason I can't think of, as
stupid as that may sound. Hmmm. I'm baffled. I suppose there's nothing
else I can do but do as Ann recommended and fill out a form on-line that the
file may be corrupted.
Rats! And I've been looking forward to reading this book for a long time.

Hi Chris,
Just a suggestion ... but rather than copying and pasting your zipped files,
if you're using Windows Xp, , you might try:
1. Highlight zipped folder name;
2. Use menu or (alt) key and arrow down to "extract" files. It's a dialog
box, as you may know; and
3. Follow the prompts.
HTH
Blessings.

Ah! I have an update. Just to see, I tried to extract the files from a
different zipped book I downloaded from Bookshare, and when I entered the
password it worked fine with that one. Apparently, there is a problem with
the first book I tried to extract.
Just to be sure it wasn't a bad download on my part, I just redownloaded the
book I couldn't extract and I still have the same issue of not being able to
move the files out of the zipped folder.
The book I'm trying to extract is A Slobbering Love Affair by Bernard
Goldberg. What should I do? I'm at a dead end.

Hi. Yup, The password prompt comes up. I then type in my Bookshare
password, but when I enter on OK, I hear a bonk sound and nothing else
happens. I can't move the files for some reason.
When I'm in the zipped folder, I do a Control-A to select all, then I hit
Control-C to copy, then I alt-tab into the folder I want to insert the book.
Then I Control-V to paste. When that prompt comes up, I enter the password
as mentioned but bonk, bonk, bonk. LOL. I'm using the same password I log
on to the site with, and it's the same one I used in the past to extract
books before the change. Any thoughts?

You need to put your password into the prompt.
