    [​IMG] You're saying that you don't know how to open the extracted file? Or that you couldn't extract it?

    If it's the former, you need to tell us what kind of file it was (what is its extension).

    If it's the latter, you need a tool that extracts zipped archives like WinZip.

    possibilities:

    - No Winzip Installed
    - Winzip installed, file unzipped but extension of file unknown
    - Corrupt file, there always was a zipfix file in the dosversions, maybe Winzip has a fix-utility.

    [​IMG] Seems like you don't have WinZip. If you do, start WinZip and drag the file into the WinZip window. Then it will work.

    Personally, I prefer PowerArchiver.
    It's got most if not all the functions WinZip has, plus it supports a bucketload of other archive formats that WinZip doesn't support.
