I do not believe you NEED WINZIP - anything since XP has a built-in "UNZIPPER" program. Second - you do NOT need to UNZIP to RESTORE. The RESTORE a BACKUP - open LEGACY - Choose File - RESTORE. It will tell you it must stop LEGACY - that is OK. Choose the BACKUP FILE you want (if from your flash drive - choose that one) - and let the file rebuild (takes very little time). That should get you back into things.
The Multimedia BACKUP - I must leave to someone else - I just back-up the LEGACY FOLDERS for DOCS and PICTURES. If I must restore them - I just replace the ones in the LEGACY FOLDER with the back-ups. Hope this helps...
