Subject:Unable to open .acd-zip files on 2 new discs - Works fine on 12 other loop libraries

Just inserted the Bradley Fish Restrung disc and attempted to open any of the Sample Acid Projects included on the disc. Below is an example of the error message I received while trying to open the 7 different project files.

An error occurred while loading the project file Afro Dulce.acd
The file is most likely corrupted or of an unknown format. A chunk has an illegal length.

At first I thought the file names were messed up i.e., Afro Dulce.acd-zip should have been Afro Dulce.acd.zip

I changed the file name and it turned into a ZIP file that I was able to open an extract all files contained within.

However, when opening the ACD file from within the ZIP (which is correctly named) - I still get the same error message as above.

Has anyone else had this problem? Did I get a bum disc? Any thoughts???

Thank you in advance

EDIT - Having the exact same problem with the Demo Song on Mellow Jazz/Funk Elements disc.

I tried 12 of my other discs and ALL of the .acd-zip files opened like a charm which leads me to believe that it is more disc related

Obvious question: what version of Acid are you using? If it is Acid Express 3.0, for example, it is not going to work.

Sorry I forgot to mention... I have Acid Pro 3.0g

I didn't have any trouble with my other Sonic Foundry/Sony Loop discs so I wasn't sure if it was version related or not.

Just got my Acid Pro 5.0 in the mail - installed and now the files are opening just fine (Funny how only these 2 discs had a problem in Acid Pro 3.0g even though all my other discs worked) but it's all good now.
