Your download failed. It's not a complete file, so Windows can't read it.
Rename or remove this file, then try to download it again. If you merely rename the file, you'll be able to compare file sizes when the new file is downloaded. The new file will be larger. HTH.

Thanks for the information. It still failed with the same
message. I renamed the previously loaded file and then downloaded Jet35sp3, but it still will not open. Anymore ideas?? -----Original Message----- Your download failed.

Windows may have cached the incomplete file in a temporary directory on your
computer, so that when you attempt to download the file a second time, the operating system checks for the file in the cache, notices that it's available, then makes a copy of the cached file in the directory that you wanted to save the file to, and then renames it to the file name of the downloaded file. When this happens, you'll notice that the download, even for a very large file, will be amazingly quick. That's because there is no download. It's just a copy/paste/rename operation. There's no file integrity check to verify that the downloaded copy matches the size of the file located on Microsoft's Web server (where you downloaded the file), so if this has happened to you, you'll be stuck with this incomplete file until you find it and delete it from Windows temporary cache. Otherwise, you won't have a successful download of this file until you remove it from your computer. (You may be able to run a disk cleanup to remove the "bad" file for you, but I've tried this on Windows XP Pro and Home Edition and neither of these operating systems deleted an incomplete downloaded file from my temporary cache, but it's possible that my "Norton protection" was scheming against me to thwart my efforts.) The temporary file in the temporary directory will have a cryptic, non-human identifiable file name, (something several letters and numbers, like "IE764Q9.tmp"), so it will be difficult to find. Your only clues are the number of bytes for the file size and the date and time you downloaded the "bad" file. If you have Windows XP, then you will have an really difficult time trying to find this bad file, because if you search for it using the Windows Search utility, it won't search any of these temporary directories where the cached file is actually stored. If you have a different operating system, like Windows 2000, then you will probably be able to find it withe the Windows Search utility based upon its file size and the date that you downloaded it. If you can't find the "bad" file in a reasonable amount of time, then use a different computer to download the file again, then transfer the file to your computer via network, CD or whatever, then try to install the new file.
