Re: Something Odd
It sounds like whatever went wrong corrupted files - probably not just the game related files, either.
Since extracting from the zip file does not work, probably that file was affected as well. Try extracting the copy of the zip file in the email attachment from your opponent, overwriting the zip on your disk perhaps?. That could replace the zip with a known good copy. Or, if it was the zip in the email attachment you extracted from - ask your opponent to resend it once more.
But it sounds as if you should run windows CHKDSK utility to check your drive for lost clusters etc. after that crash. Perhaps leave it running overnight with the option to check the surface for bad sectors selected too (that one takes a while, a few hours, which is why I suggest an overnight run. Maybe wait and if the first run of CHKDSK throws up errors, only then run it again with the surface check option selected).
