I'm not exactly sure what you did, but to me it looks like you tried opening up Media.pk2 through WinRAR. WinRAR is the file extracter used when downloading packaged things. In the WinRAR window you have open, you are looking at xvi32.

Make sure you have extracted Xvi32 to a directory, open it up (click on the .exe). When Xvi is opened, click File, open -> find your media.pk2. Then it should open, if you've done that already and I just looked at the screenshot wrong, I'm not sure >.<

Are you sure you're not clicking XVI32.zip? If you are and it opens in WinRAR and then you start it up through that, you have to click "extract all" in winrar and put all the files in a folder, then go to that folder, open XVI32, and then open Media.pk2 in XVI32.

That happened to me, so all i did was click ok, then i just double clicked the xvi32.exe file,. make sure your not clicking something else, and oped up media.pk2 in the editorm not the archive

Lol, have fun being completely ignorant to the fact that they won't ban you without solid proof and let's face it, you really think they'll go to all that trouble just to ban a pk2 editor, instead of spending time on the real problems? I think not. Also..They look at these forums too, and it's a little OBVIOUS who the pk2 editors are, especially with all the topics, why haven't they banned them, hmm?

and FYI. Corrupt files > any kind of file check.
Yes, people do play sro with corrupt files, I did before I started pk2 editing and noticed I needed to reinstall. So basically you think a JM employee will hand check EVERY pk2 file for some evidence of editing? lol.
