You must have file compression software on your system to unzip the file. We are providing a list of file compression resources as a public service. However, Rural Development is not responsible for the reliability of any of these utilities, and the link to these resources should not be construed as our endorsement of any file compression product or provider.

Click the link and choose Save to begin the download. Save the zip file to the location of your choice on your computer (be sure to remember where you have stored it). Follow the instructions provided with your file compression program to unzip the file. After unzipping the file, save the new version. Next, click the Start button. From the Programs list, select Accessories > Multimedia > Windows Media Player. From the Windows Media Player menu, select File > Open > Browse, and then choose the unzipped file, "dorr_address_081902.wmv," from the location where it was saved.
