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.

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. Chris Feist - The one and only!

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?
