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.

I sure hope someone can help me out of this mess. Just last week, it became necessary to replace my Dell PC with another one, so this time I went with an HP. I'm pretty sure that makes no real difference in terms of my present issue. On my Dell, I had 7Zip running in my context menu for extracting, and or zipping files, and became quite comfortable with it. So, thought I'd try putting it on my new system. I downloaded the 64bit edition of the program, and it showed up in my context menu as it should, but out of all the options available, it had no option for extracting files. I should say, I at least can find no such option. Now, this could make it totally impossible to extract either Bookshare, or NLS Talking Books on my system. I called the MS Answer Desk this morning, and asked the guy assigned to help me if he couldn't possibly restore the default program used by Windows, but he did something I was kind of surprised at. He replaced the extraction option with Win zip, and I can find no option for extracting files with Win zip either. To make matters worse, he installed an evaluation copy, which I will have to pay for, provided I end up getting it to cooperate. I sure hope I don't have to do anything drastic, like refreshing Windows, but at least this time, I do have cloud storage backup. This really shouldn't have been this complicated. Sure wish I'd left well enough alone. If anybody has any ideas, or real assistance to provide in getting out of this one, it sure would be gratefully appreciated. Maybe a bit of phone assistance might be in order. If someone wants to volunteer, please kindly answer me off list. Got any ideas Rod <smile>?
