Questions About Rooting (NOOKcolor) - Page 11

There is one icon that it an application. I click that because it is the only one called Win32DIskImager. When I click it, I get a Warning that I mentioned earlier : Okay thanks! Also, for anyone who can help. I downloaded win32DiskImager and when I clicked the zip in the folder I downloaded it into it gave me this popup that said:
Compressed(zipped) Folders Warning
This application may depend on other compressed files or folders.

For the application to run properly, it is recommended that you first extract all files.

Extract all run exit

Do I hit exttract all or run?

When I hit run it says:
The application has failed to start because mingwm10.dll was not found.

THe thing is that I see that file in the folder! OH also, on the top of this new popup it says Win32DishImager.exe so now the problem is that it can't locate a component that it actually there!

When it prompted you to extract or run, did you choose extract. The files have to be extracted first. Some programs automatically extract it when you click the zip file. In your case, it sounds like you're being allowed to browse the zip file. You don't want to browse so go ahead and extract the files.

Yes! Finally, success! Haha, thanks so much.

What is the difference between extracting and unzipping?

nothing except the words to describe (well, unzipping was originally for files that were zipped; extract is a little more generic i.e. other types of files than just .zip files i.e. .tar; .gz.) - extracting is for all types of compressed files; unzipping would be just .zip files .... but they are pretty much interchangeable

nookgirl123 · 01-18-2011, 08:05 PM

Okay, so if I need to unzip a .zip file I can also hit extract?

I believe someone mentioned to not choose a device. See if you can bypass that.

How is your microSD card connected to the computer?

I don't have a NC so I can't help much besides that.

I know this is an older post, but just wanted to butt in and say Chrome is just fine. The behavior that was described (zip file 'appearing' at bottom and when you click it opens window with 'icons') is exactly right. It downloaded the zip file and saved it for her and when she clicked on it her PC opened the zip file browser from which she can browse the zip or click to extract the zipped files. Perfectly correct behavior from Chrome.

I use Chrome pretty much exclusively on Mac and PC it's very solid. I even run the developer version (which did have a scrolling bug once that was fixed in under 24 hours -- but that's to be expected for bleeding edge. stable is, well, more stable).

Thanks for clarifying. I get a number of messages from people when using Chrome. Now I know what to tell them. I guess the default is to download automatically unless you change the preferences? I've never used it. Firefox die hard.

Unless it is an executable file (in which case it will ask you to confirm) it will download files to a default download directory. You can change it to ask you where you want files to be put instead. More detail on chrome downloading, here.

I used to be a big Firefox user myself.
