What files are zipped?
What OS are you using?
Is the error from the unzipper or QB?

[Dr_Davenstein]

I think you mean that when you try to start QB, you get an error from the "parameter" window?

if your qb.exe file is in the same folder as the other qb files leave the paremeter blank.
if it is in a different folder the paremeter should be the 8 character name of the location of the files.
