Maximize it?  What does that mean?  And yeah, try using a different unzip program.  If you're on Windows XP/Vista/7, you shouldn't need any utility to unzip stuff.

Windows has unzipping software built right into the OS. If it doesn't work, then your Windows installation is broken. WinRAR is a suitable alternative.

(PS: The file you're downloading should only be less than 7 megabytes in size. If your computer is downloading that small of a file slowly... well, honestly, I can't think of any reason why any college connection would be THAT slow. Are you sure your computer is actually functioning?)

I used to have my laptop set up as a wireless repeater on campus and I would replace peoples downloads with neverending downloads :P (I.E. the network was just sending them random packets of data, pretending it was their file. Fun times were had.

Ok I guess the game was being unzipped correctly by zip genus because WinRar opened it up just fine and now the game is running just fine.

Thank you all so much for your help it is very much appreciated!!
