Bad ZSNES File? Help

BLuE_HiGH · Post by **BLuE_HiGH** » Mon Nov 08, 2004 12:07 am

I downloaded ZSNES not too long ago and had unzipped it to the My Documents folder... then I started experiencing the problems. When I open the MD folder and scroll into view of the ZSNES icon, the computer locks up for several seconds while the icon for the file loads. I can select the file but cannot move it or attempt to delete it by the DEL button or right clicking and selecting delete(I have tried deleting it indirectly but it did not work either), or the folder stops responding and the file stays in My Documents. I did manage to get rid of another of its applications I unzipped by removing everything but the one icon from the folder and then deleting the folder, but I can't do that with My Documents.

What do I do?

if you downloaded the file from zsnes.com or ipher's website, it is doubtful that the file is the cause of this problem.

Maybe try running a virus scan and update windows.

Thanks, I'll see if that's the problem... maybe ***romsite*** has a virused file or something though, 'cause I find that pretty strange that only the ZSNES icon takes forever to load like it does.

In the future, only download an emulator from the official project homepage, or it's linked mirrors.

This is also a good way to ensure that you get a more up-to-date version.

You just listed a rom site. That's a big no no.

Yeah, I'm suprised he didn't get banned yet.

It wasn't like he was posting a link, he simply mentioned the site by name. It's been edited out, issue resolved.

Excellent.
