Change the name to .jar
Example: Motogp.zip to Motogp.jar |

try changing the extension from .zip to .jar. backup the file, because if it ain't this, the file will be then corrupted.
maybe it's not working, but i don't have any better ideas

No idea whether the extension change would help (it doesn't seem that these are java files), but if you'd like to try it out, here's what you should do, if you use Windows XP, that is.
Open any folder, go to Tools / Folder Options. Under Folder Options, select the View tab and browse advanced options. Untick "Hide extensions for known file types".
Now, the extensions for all files on your computer become visible. Rename the .zip file to .jar (back it up first) and tick back the "Hide extensions for known file types" option, as it ensures that file types do not get accidentally renamed and rendered unusable.
If I remember well, this option is to be found in the View menu in Windows 2000 and earlier versions.

Ah my dear newbies, do not worry. Simply rename the .zip files to .jar as simply as you would rename a photo. The reason is because jar files are simply glorified zip files and all those .class files are simply the "innards" that are put onto your phone when the game is installed. Do not worry, i highly doubt they are corrupt. enjoy!

Just do this: when the save file as window appear, in type of file choose all files, and in the name box put .jar after the name of the file to download. Tell me if it works.

i said that if changing the filename from .zip to .jar doesn't work, then the file will be corrupted.
glad to hear they are working now
by the way, for which phone the games are?

My games are working in k750 , n91 , 6600 , W810 ( bought it just 10 minutes ago ) ... they should probably work on other sony ericsson mobile sets aswell ... but java is necessary in the mobile for the games to be started since they are java(jar)files...
