...PCX? Where'd you find a PCX file? We don't use PCX files anymore... You must be using a really old version... Textures are PNG files now.

Nope, pie slicer uses BMP texture pages but calls them pcx, it means that to get each pie in game you must open the pie in a text editor and change .pcx to .png.
I have version 112 and it still uses them.

Anyway, what exactly are you puting into the box? Just putting the number in the first box works for me.

So all the .bmp texture pages are in the folder that the pie slicer .exe is in?
You didn't perhaps just get the update without first having the previous version?
You do not have the required permissions to view the files attached to this post.

The version 082 from stratadrake's website works fine here (no corrupt files), what exactly is the error message anyway?

That's strange, I've tried opening it with winrar and winzip and they both worked fine. I also got Tiberian to check if he could open it with winrar and he said it worked. Fairly daft question but, have you tried opening it with winzip and have you tried opeing other .zip files with winrar?
If we still can't figure out the problem then I'll try uploading the files somewhere.
