    ok can we just get over this and make the differences be left aside and join the 2 products as one and solve all the errors. look honestly i can't even extract my files any more without a bloody error, and 2 people fighting over whether winrar or 7zip works better.

    Completely uninstall winrar. Reboot your computer. Install the latest version.

    why bother with all that when you can download 7 zip and be on your way ;)

    tip - download 7 zip now

    Uninstall winrar later

    usoppu stop confusing the issue. Downloading 7zip will not fix the problem.

    Redownload it and it should work.

    Also guys, stop being gits and confusion, if you do not have anything constructive to add then stay out of the thread.
