I'd agree with most of this, but the location of Guitar Pro in Vista may not necessarily be correct, e.g. mine is "C:\Program Files\Guitar Pro 5\GP5.exe"

More likely its your default setting, I had that issue a while back (years ago) and once i set up the default properly no worries anymore.

True, Chas ... I forgot that Vista is not the reason for the "Program Files (x86)" folder. It exists only on 64 bit systems, such as my Vista laptop, and is reserved for 32 bit applications, such as Guitar Pro.

Moral of the story:
If your system is 32 bit (as is most common), then "GP5.exe" is in "C:\Program Files\Guitar Pro 5".

If your system is 64 bit, then "GP5.exe" is in "C:\Program Files (x86)\Guitar Pro 5"

I stand corrected

Any lesson file with a link to GP5 in the lesson notes. I installed GP5 in my PC yesterday and it works fine . It's my Mac I am having the problem with.

I presume you got both PC and Mac versions of GP, sorry I can't help with Mac. Is there a Mac doctor in the house?

I'm a Mac user. Chris, give an example of a GP5 file you tried to download that wouldn't work properly, and we'll take it from there.

This is what I get when I click the GP5 tab in the lesson notes



FICHIER GUITAR PRO v5.10 This is not what I copied and pasted I get what looks like a text file with just writing. I guess it won't let me copy it

What I'm asking for is the name and location of the specific file you're trying to download.

This is the file I get from my PC

The file I get from my Mac is 4012_wonderfultonightGP.gp5.txt

I hope this helps it seems my version of Totally guitars on my mac wont let me download the file to GP5 It seems to be a text file

FICHIER GUITAR PRO v5.10 The word fichier is in french. It is quite strange that you get that but it migth not mean anything.

Guitar Pro is made by a French company Arobas, a lot of error messages come up in French
