RE: In a real jam
Hi Larry, I put the 7Zip installer in my DropBox for you. The URL to my DropBox folder is: http://bit.ly/2gX64M0 The file you need to find is: 7z1805-x64.exe I would be inclined to uninstall Winzip from add remove programs and then install 7Zip. There are no special configuration steps for 7Zip,at least the one I put in my DropBox. I just installed it only now on one of my virtual machines just to test it out, and it was quick and painless. When you run the installer, simply tab to the Install button, press it, and stand back. Smile After that, there is a close button to press, but that's it.

Re: In a real jam
Steve, Thanks for your quick response. I actually did manage to get Winzip to extract a talking book, but I believe the option was announced as adding to zip file, or something of that nature, which left me a bit confused. I keep getting nagged by Winzip, and although I know it might be necessary toward getting people to finally give up and buy the product, it is nevertheless quite annoying. So, think I might just reinstall 7Zip, and see if I can't get used to their similar wording. Do you happen to be using the latest version yourself? If so, maybe you can walk me through their configuration menu, and help me decide just what to checand what not. One thing the 7Zip did, after I went through the exercise of checking and unchecking the boxes, when pressing the OK button, it told me that access to 7Zip was denied. Thought that might be an administrative issue, so even asked the guy at MS to make sure I managed to do all that right. Anyway, he told me that I did have full admin rights, or at least that he completed the process. I really hate to admit it, maybe it is a matter of age, but these computer problems can raddle me a bit more than they used too. Oh well, please let me know what you think.
