If while you download a character, it downloads as a
text or HTML
file instead of a character (.avb) file, here's how
to recover it!
Method 1:
To download these you have to:
- RIGHT CLICK on the download link and select 'SAVE TARGET AS..'
- Change 'File name' extension from .HTML to .AVB
- Change the 'Save as type' line to "ALL FILES" for the file type.
- Once the download is completed into your 'COMICART' folder,
the file is ready for use!
Method 2:
1. Allow it to complete it's download.
2. From your "Windows Start Button" go to "Programs" and open your
"Windows
Explorer".
3. In "Windows Explorer" go to "C:\Windows\Temporary Internet Files".
Find the
character.avb file that you just downloaded. (It
will usually be toward the very end
of the file if you
are doing this right after the download completed).
4. Right click on the file and select "Copy".
5. While still in "Windows Explorer," go to the "C:\Program
Files\Microsoft Chat\
Comicart" folder. Right click on
the folder and select "Paste".
{or "C:\Program
Files\Chat\Comicart" (Win98)}
6. At this point, your new character file will turn into an .html file.
So with the
"Comicart" folder open, find the new
character and right click it and select "rename"
and
rename it back to it's name and ".avb" extension.
Example: "nzs.html" change back to "nzs.avb"
(Disregard the warning 'pop-up' window and select "yes" to change
the file).
7. You're now finished and ready to enjoy the new character!
