SiNiMaTiK: is there any way to do this w/o downloading a rar program? winzip wont work?
Y a w n Z: no, it is a different file format, if I had realized it, I would have zipped both.
SiNiMaTiK: ok it's d/l'd
Y a w n Z: ok, double click it
Y a w n Z: you see checkboxes, with RAR and ZIP and other stuff? only 3 should be checked as it is
SiNiMaTiK: no check boxes
SiNiMaTiK: just a bunch of files...exe's and read me's
Y a w n Z: tell me what you see, :-)
Y a w n Z: oh, it must have installed right away I guess, what are the exe's?
SiNiMaTiK: emx.exe, rar32.exe, rsx.exe
Y a w n Z: ok, double click rar32.exe
SiNiMaTiK: k...
Y a w n Z: a whole new window should pop and such, right?
SiNiMaTiK: it came up real fast and went away
SiNiMaTiK: a black wordy window
SiNiMaTiK: scrolled and disappeared
Y a w n Z: ok, go to the original adobe rar file, and try right clicking, do you get an extract option again?
SiNiMaTiK: nope
Y a w n Z: what windows are you on again?
SiNiMaTiK: just a add to zip and zip to email ect
Y a w n Z: ah. ok, do you still have your winrar folder open?
SiNiMaTiK: the one with the exe's and read me's?
Y a w n Z: yeah, sorry this isn't a version I am familiar with, usually they are all the same layout.
SiNiMaTiK: ok yeah its open
Y a w n Z: or you could try just double clicking on adobe60.rar real fast. it might just not want to right click for you.
Y a w n Z: if should either pop up with a new winrar window, or an open this file with blah window
SiNiMaTiK: it says click the program you want to use to open it
Y a w n Z: ok, you did uninstall that first winrar, right?

Y a w n Z: nod, is there a choose option, or a browse option?
SiNiMaTiK: yep
SiNiMaTiK: which do i use...rar 320.exe?
Y a w n Z: click that, it will give you a folder view.
Y a w n Z: is there one just named winrar.exe ?
SiNiMaTiK: it's a folder that says rar and then in the folder is the emx.exe, rar32.exe, and rsx.exe
Y a w n Z: ok, can you go to programfiles/winrar on your c:drive if it exists?
