I need help opening a downloaded manual

[modelageek]

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.

actually when i try to open it it says either it is not supported or it is damged posssible from email. I did not get it from email and others on the thread have opend and used it. so i think it is me that is having the issue .please help

What is the file extension? .pdf? .tif?

i think it is zip. i tried to unzip but i cant figure it out. i googled it and it said vista can unzip it slowly . it said to right clik it then extract but extract is not there

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.

This might help, ps did you get 100% of the file, and were you able to unzip it properly?

Thanks for helping. no one around knows much about computers here. I prob know the most and that is not much, I have not unzipped it I dont have a way of doing it, vista is suppose to be able to do it bu i couldn't figure it out. would you mind burning me a copy and mailing it. i would be very appreciative. I could pm you my addy.
