What is Wrong? Had not been here as I was ill. Now whatever I download (in PES)the santa couple from Julias and the santa in workshop here is just jibberish when I open the design .

I had a zip program (winzip jzip something along that line)
now can't locate it. Even get a message when I try to look at my Christmas Mail in Jacquie Lawson and I know I used to be able to read the cards. Sorry Sue. I know you sent me one. Thanks in case somebody can help.
Just can't open the files.

Stella, this has also happened to me but only when I am using my iPad. Hopefully someone will be able to tell us what is wrong

If you are downloading a .pes -- you don't need any other software at all.
BTW -- Windows does not need winzip as it has an extractor built in and you would only use it for zipped files.
It seems an update (possibly from Adobe) may have changed your file association. Find a .pes file and right click it. Select "Open With" and then find your embroidery software or iconizer or embroidery viewer in the list. Select the one you want and all should be well with your .pes downloads.
As far as your Christmas mail, I find I can only view the cards using Internet Explorer.

I hope I have not muddied the water for you. I have sick children home from school today and I am not feeling well either -- so I will be here online... in and out -- mostly out.

Hello Dear, I use 7-ZIP file opener on all my computers. It is free, works really fast and reliable and if a file is damaged, it unpacs everything and you can really see if the PES file is damaged. Every embroiderer shoud have it.
Merry Christmas
