The link worked fine for me too. Sometimes the site or its servers might be 'down' temporarily, for updates, etc, so just wait a couple of hours and try it again. We should all be thankful we can get great technical data for nothing. Cheers. ;)

I'm having trouble with this download. It downloads fine, but I can't open it. My computer doesn't seem to know what a DS_store file is. Can you help the somewhat computer challenged?

Thanks!! Have a Great Day!!! Keith

Don't know why it doesn't download it as a "zip" file. Are you using some other operating system besides Windows?

I'm not sure what that file is about either but it is harmless. I just deleted it after I unzipped everything and went on my merry way. The manual files are nested a couple of folders deep into the file.

Good morning Fellas'!

I got it. I was doing this at 1 AM this morning. Must have had "Numb Brain". Shouldn't be workin' 'till that early in the AM. Last night I couldn't make it open, this morning everything is fine.

MIJ - I'm running Windows Vista. I don't think that was the problem. It was probably the nut behind the wheel.

Lee - Found it this morning workin' fine... Go figure. Probably operator error, usually is. I do much better workin' on the car vs the computer.

Anyway, when I open the file I see _MACOSX and Volvo_850. Double click on Volvo_850. This opens; Volvo 850, DS_Store file, and p_codes_conversion_table. Dbl click on Volvo 850, this opens; Volvo -95, DS_Store file, and Volvo 850 1996 scheduled service. If you go back and dbl click the p_codes_coversion_table, the code table opens.

I ignore the DS_Store files and _MACOSX and everything is fine. Things are much clearer this morning with a "Fresh Brain". Thank you for your time and patience. I'm usually much sharper than this! I'm gonna' go work on the car. I'm sure it needs something. I do much better with them!

Thanks Guys!!! Have A Great Day!!!

I have apparently down loaded the file but I can't unzip it.It says that the unzip file is incomplete or currupt.If I use windows try and open it I get stuck in some kind of loop that keeps opening windows window and I have to manually shut the computer down.And Microsoft word says that it doesn't recognize the file.
What do I do now and I'm only a little computer literate or a lot illiterate.
Thanks!
