SYNC HELP PLEASE

I downloaded a sync update to my laptop. I never used a usb memory thing before. do i just drag and drop it in the memory stick folder or do i have to open the zip file i downloaded first then send it to the usb ,this i don't know how do do. the sync site has instructions but i closed the page now they are gone.

any help would be great! Will

Do it both ways, Will. Can't hurt. Been a while since I've done one, so don't remember.

Looking at the sync site, I would say probably not. Open up the contents of the USB and you will see your file. Double click it. It should open up in Windows Explorer. Then press CTL A to select all files, and then CTL C to copy them. Leave that window open.

Now click Start, Computer, and double click your USB drive. Click in the window and press CTL V. All the files should unzip on to your USB.

BCM & winginit,

This is great advice BCM, I couldn't have put it better myself. Please let me know if you continue to have any issues with the updating process winginit!
