When I try to unpack the applications, there is a dialogue box that says it is unpacking, but that´s it. There´s no "save contents as" option or anything. So therefore I cannot load the contents of the folder onto the Visual C# program and load it on to my Zune player. How can I unpack and see the contents of the folder so that I can load a specific file onto my zune?

Hi, I got a zune hd and am using it outside the States. I am able to access the Apps page on marketplace after changing the region but I am not able to download the Apps into my Collection. After clicking download on App in Marketplace, it will proceed to display a download progress bar. After it finishes the download, there will be an exclamation mark beside the "download" button and my local zune program´s collection for Apps will still be empty. Whats going on I´ve tried both with US proxy and without. Thanks in advance for your help !?

Hi, I want to ask you about regional restrictions referring to programming (developing) games for the Zune HD 32 GB. What I am focusing here on are restrictions put on XBOX-360 game programming. According to these, one must be a member of the Creators Club to be able to upload and run XBOX-360 self-developed games on the console. But, to get the membership is not possible when based in the Czech Republic as I am now. In short terms, my question is whether I will be able to develop, upload and run games on the above given Zune model in the Czech Republic with respect to the above mentioned restrictions regulating XBOX-360 game development. Thanks for your replies?

if i use a program besides the actual zune software to put apps on my zune will it void the warranty. i really dont want to have no warranty on my brand new zune hd... that would really really suck?
