hi thankyou for suggesting that fix....But I did as you said and followed the tutorial but when I went to ctrl panel > Folders > View > my option to hide Known file extensions was already unchecked. ???? Please any more suggestions would be great
im still getting the same error when using c2d and the properties of the file does say flashCEX(.bin)(.bin) but as stated my option to uncheck the known file types is unchecked I also tried doing it then apply then again and uncheck and apply to all folders but it still is not helping the c2d program as the extensions are still in double so please help

"properties of the file does say flashCEX(.bin)(.bin)" <--------that is the MAIN issue at hand

You need to remove one .bin. The file needs to be flashCEX.bin and not flashCEX.bin.bin. That is the problem you are encountering.
The reason why you unchecked the show hidden extension is to show you the .bin at the end of the flashCEX.bin
People add an extra .bin, which is incorrect and you get the error.

"Now if you go to your c2d folder with flashCEX.bin & eid_root_key.bin , the files will have .bin.bin on it. Just rename them each to have one .bin extension. Now go to your command window & re-do the process! "
