All, I went ahead and installed 8.1 and it fixed this problem. -Clint ----- Original Message ----- From: "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
Hi all, I did some searching for this and could not find the answer. As you know, on XP (and maybe ME, can't recall) has a built in uncompression/compression utility like WinZip. I really like it, I like the fact you can simply treat a zipped file exactly like any other folder; by simply clicking it and it will open as any other folder so you can see the contents. So, I need to keep that. However it lacks some features of WinZip (like right click and "extract here....") so I had to install WinZip (8.0). I didn't associate .zip files with Winzip because if I did, I would then of course lose the ability to view a zipped file's contents as described above. Well, seems I have anyway. Now anytime a .zip folder is clicked, explorer locks up for several minutes. Nothing happens, and if during this time I chose to "end program", a bad crash happens (system tray disappears). If I let it 'ride itself out', after several minutes go by, the folder will finally open displaying it's contents. When any of those contents are clicked to view (like another folder within it), the problem begins again.....'not responding' and the whole system becomes very sluggish during this process. Now I know the native XP uncompression utility and Winzip can co-exist, or else there would be no WinZip support for XP. The problem is trying to get the native uncompression utility to still work AS BEFORE with winzip installed. Any ideas on how to accomplish this? Will using v.8.1 fix this problem?
