'Save Target As Is' is greyed out
The Microsoft Knowledge Base reveals that the option to save target as is greyed out and not available if you have the Content Advisor enabled in Internet Explorer. Normally, if you right click on a link you can choose to save or Print the file. But with Content Advisor turned on, these options are not available to you because it would bypass the Content Advisor.

  • In Internet Explorer, go to Tools/Internet Options/Content (If you have established a password for Content Advisor, you will need to enter it before you can make changes.)

  • Click the Disable button in the Content Advisor section.

I've downloaded and burned my favorite songs to a CD - why won't it play in my car?
Some older players are not able to read MP3s burned at higher rates of speed. Try burning the CD at a lower speed. Also, be sure that you're burning your songs to a CD-R disc. Other forms of media may not work.

I just downloaded the entire Sweet Dreams CD and only received 7 tracks. There appear to be more songs on the album. Why didn't I receive all of them?
Because it is meant to be a soothing lullaby CD, Tim and Ryan didn't put pauses after each song when they recorded it in order to keep it flowing. All of the songs listed on the web page are included within the 7 tracks on the CD.

How to UnZip a File?
 

What is a ZIP file?
A ZIP file is created to package one or more files into a single file in a compressed format. ZIP files save storage space, are convenient, and can be quicker to download. ZIP files are easy to identify because their filename extension is ".zip".

How do I decompress a ZIP file?
When you download a ZIP file from a website, you save it to your local computer. You then need to use special software to decompress (unZIP) the file you downloaded. You may already have such software installed; if not, you might want to download one of the software packages shown below.

To decompress the file, you first tell the software where the ZIP file you downloaded is located. The software will then access the files within the ZIP file. Perhaps it will display them to the screen. You then tell the software to decompress (unZIP) the files to a location of your choice. Once this is complete you can begin to use the decompressed files, and you probably will not need to access the ZIP file again.

Note: The list below is not complete. There are many ZIP/unZIP software packages available, and most work well. Piano Orchestrations' does not endorse any particular software package, and cannot be responsible for their use. Some cost money (many have trial periods), and some are free. The links are for your convenience, and take you to third-party websites that are not run by Piano Orchestrations.
