First question- do you know how to use Winzip? Is it installed?

What you need to do for most of them-
1. Put the SE4 Gold CD in your drive
2. Open My Computer, it's on your desktop
3. Double click on your CD-ROM drive
4. double click on the "extras" folder
5. find the mod you want (there's a list of what's what in the manual)
6. Double click on the file you want. That will open it.
7. Make sure Winzip is set to "Use folder names"
8. hit "extract" and point winzip to your SE4:G folder
9. Go to your SE4:G folder. There should be a new folder there. Say, for the TDM-Modpack- there will be a folder there titled "TDM-Modpack".
10. Open up the path.txt file in your SE4:g folder.
11. scroll down until you see "none" in the path.txt file. Replace "none" with the new folder name- for example, with "TDM-Modpack". YOU HAVE TO SPELL IT EXACTLY. Spelling it wrong will mess up the next step.
12. Start SE4:G. it should use the mod you just installed.

I do not think so, every time I double click on them, I get a "this is not a chat...."

Hey there.
So, you double click on the .zip files on the cd and it says "this is not a chat"?

That would indicate that your computer thinks that a file that ends in .zip is some sort of a chat file.

Do you have Winzip installed? www.winzip.com for a free trial.

If you do, you should open Winzip, Go to Options, then Configuration, then the system tab. Check off the "associate winzip with archives" button.

This should do it.
