OK, I am better with things that go brum-brum, than with things that go click-click. I'm an idiot, I'm sure, but I have downloaded the RAVE manual from a link posted here, and I can't make sense of it. It came as a zip file, which I extracted into a folder I called Rave CD. What is in there is three folders (Rave Tutorial, pdf and indexes), a file called RAVE which Windows can't open (it's 0 kb), three PDFs (rave-lr, tutorial, welcome), a file called autorun.inf and an .ico file. Nothing larger than 122 kb, and the total download was over half a gig. The folders don't contain anything recognisable as a workshop manual.

Obviously I have done something wrong, but what? Explain like I was a rather dull toddler, please.

Ah, right. Not sure I saw that. Everything is shut down now and I am back on the tablet, so I will check in the morning. Thanks for being patient with me.
 
Click accept on the grey box

On the Rave box, click on it.

on the library box click on the vehicle you want.

Cheers
 
OK, lapdog fired up again ...

I can't see a box that I can click to 'accept'.
If I click the RAVE icon, I get an 'Open With ...' dialog.
Nothing is listed as an application. This is what I have:

Ah, misunderstanding. The 'green oval' I was talking about is just the icon. I don't have the application that you have.
 
Let's start at the beginning. What's the operating system and version? Also RAVE is available in a non zip PDF file.

Windows 7, ver 6.1.

Looks like the file type has been lost for the Rave application... It should have .EXE at the end. Also, it appears to be a zero-byte file, meaning that technically, there's not actually a file there and it won't work. Where did you get the copy of Rave from?

From a link on here, in a thread about cruise control, I think. It was a link to a dropbox file. It looks as though what I have is corrupted in some way. I will try a different link, if I can find it again. Thanks for your patience, guys.
 
Thanks mate. Will have a look if the one al-one-arm suggested doesn't work for me. It's not finished downloading yet, and it's already way bigger than the zip file I first downloaded. I think I know what I have done ...
 
I downloaded a RAVE zip file a few years ago and it included the whole range of LRs available at the time, and then I only had a 2Gig hard drive.
