Trouble downloading POIs

Hello,
My comupter is not able to open the unzipped file redLight-cameras.csv so that I can then use them with Garmin's POILoader software.
In other words, the .csv file is not recognized by my computer! Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.
unreadable *.csv file
Hello Skip,
If you want to see what is in the file you can view it in notepad as it a text file however you do not need to view it to use it. The best thing to do is place ALL csv (poi) files in the same folder then you can install them to your gps unit. With the i3(which is the same as the i2 except for color) all csv files must be in the same folder if you want all the poi's to be installed into your gps. Just tell the loader where the folder is located and it will add all files in that folder.

poi trouble
You're welcome Skip. I'd be interested in hearing what you think of the 2720 gps you own. They sound like one of the best that Garmin offers. I am still amazed how well my little i3 performs.
