Title: zip files/offline missions
Post by: flatiron1 on March 14, 2009, 05:14:52 PM
I want to do some off the offline missions but it seems they all require using a zip program. My free winzip has expired. Are they any good free zip programs  out there.

if you're running windows xp, dl it to your desktop, then right click on the zip file there. you'll get some options. one should be "extract all". use that one, and windows'll do it for ya.

I use WinRar for pretty much everything myself.

ok I uninstalled the winzip but when I try to use the vista feature all I can get is windows media center which is not going to doit the best I can tell. I did a search on using vista for zip files and for some reason it is not doing what it should.

in vista, i think the same thing....right click it, and you should have the option to extract all.

for me I just get that windows media center. I downloaded winrar and can use it for i think 40 days. so I will just get all the missions while I can.

7zip or WinRAR are the best imo.
