Help - unzip files in windows

[Blazing fire]

Hey there! I've been trying to install the console version of F@H in vista but I seem to get some strange errors. I am able to install the console on xp though.

Here's a screen shot of the error.

Why is your user profile directory like that?
Did you try moving the ZIP file out of the %userprofile% directories?

errrr I have no idea.

What and where is %userprofile%?

Thanks!

looks to me like maybe winrar has been unistalled but the file association is still there.. maybe winrar has got corupt ? You could try right clicking, Open With.. and use the windows zip archive extractor..

Hope this helps.

Either that or I would say download/reinstall WinRAR. If the icon is still set it looks as if the file extension association is still in the registry, but for some reason its not finding WinRAR.

BTW: I like how you removed the name from the error message but not from the titlebar

Oh. You blanked out the username. That's why the location seemed so weird. Whoops.

. I'm such a genius. Thanks for informing me!

I tired uninstalling but it gave me this message...

Edit- nvm, it could not find the source and it removed it from the list. I'll try installing winRAR now.

Edit 2- where do I get a free winRAR version? The one I got from RARlab will only last 40 days.

Great... Now I have an error message when running F@H

Somethings not looking good, i would just format but i guess you probably don't want to...

 

[Blazing fire]

Alright then...

I have a question. There was a linux command to erase the HDD thoroughly. May I know how to do that?

If you are just reinstalling, there is no need to use the command. It will take hours to complete, you are better off doing the "long" format when you install.

Oh that's alright. Somehow, even after a windows reformat, the bootup speed is sluggish compared to the fresh install of windows when I first bought the HDD. Is it due to the HDD slowing down?

It is possible it is having problems. Fire up HD Tune and get the SMART data.

 

[Blazing fire]

Is this normal?

 

[Blazing fire]

Bump!

 

[Automata]

I don't see anything wrong with the SMART data.
