Help Unzipping A Folder.

Hello.

I have recently downloaded an upgrade for my "Ship Simulator" which has gone into my Ship Sim as a zipped file. I have tried the normal method to unzip in Vista IE: right click> extract all, but the extract all doesn't appear.

Anyone any ideas what else I can try?

Cheers.

Alan.

    First make sure you've virus scanned it to make sure it is what its claiming to be.

    then I recommend having a (free) copy of 7zip installed as it can handle a fair number of more obscure compression formats that crop up from time to time

    http://www.7-zip.org

    Supported formats:
    • Packing / unpacking: 7z, ZIP, GZIP, BZIP2 and TAR
    • Unpacking only: ARJ, CAB, CHM, CPIO, DEB, DMG, HFS, ISO, LZH, LZMA, MSI, NSIS, RAR, RPM, UDF, WIM, XAR and Z.

    Finally its also possible the original .zip file is corrupted.....
