Okay I have tried and tried to install a resource pack at many different times with many different packs. I dl them after that I than extract the files than place them into a renamed folder. I than drag that folder to the ResourcePack folder in my .minecraft file and than when I log into minecraft and select the resource pack nothing happens. I really would like to know how to fix this. BTW I am using Windows.
Is this why it isn't working?
Probably. Did doing what I said fix the problem?
