Title: How Do I Read These Files?
Post by: JASON4VOORHEES2 on January 20, 2011, 12:59:47 PM

Every time I try to download a comic book my computer says it does not recognize the file. How do I fix this problem?

FYI, I'm using a Mac and a comic reader called Comical (Google it). It's ok, if sometimes a little unstable.
