how to open a neto.zip.pgp file?.

ive got a password but there is nothing on my xp
machine that even recognizes the neto.zip.pgp file?
im soooooooooo confused

PGP Pretty Good Privacy

www.pgpi.org

hmmm I google "neto.zip.pgp" and get http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&i...q=neto.zip.pgp ... oh what?? a rapist porn site??
What is it you are looking for??
thats the only thing that came up in the google search. I cant figure out what your asking... but theres a start with google....
I cant make out your question... please rephrase.

I'll save you the pain of a headache, avenger_jcc. The file Avid is trying to open is a PGP encrypted file. Hence the pgp extension. Download PGP and setup your key.

Maybe a lil' reading would help, also.

thanks but im still lost,
how can someone distribute a silly file that i have to find a
program to open the file with.it should be self extracting shouldnt it?
i didnt find anything windows xp on the site for downloads

seriously large file download to just view a file too geez

The file neto.zip.pgp has been encrypted with PGP. It's not self extracting because you need the pgp program to decrypt the file, the result will be a zip file called neto.zip
Then you just use whatever program you use to open zip archives with. Pgp has nothing to do with Windows XP.

I am running pgp just fine on Window XP. Are you sure you got the correct passoword, and you are supposed to have this file???

Who would like to enlighten me as to what I missed?

I really wouldn't mind.

what version pgp is for xp then everything on the site is either
for Windows 2000 Windows 3.x Windows 95/98/NT Windows ME
i guess i could choose compatibility mode but.........just to view a single file
thats a bummer to install pgp

Windows 2000 version should work with XP. I didn't mean it wouldn't run on XP, just that if you searched something like "pgp windows xp" you wouldn't necessarily find anything because they aren't directly related.

Also, souleman's right, to decrypt a pgp file you need the alternate key to the one that encrypted it. If you don't even have pgp then who's key was used to encrypt the file in the first place?
