download the new version from www.rarlabs.com and install it.

I think it's the other way around, Mr. 7zip ;)

ok can we just get over this and make the differences be left aside and join the 2 products as one and solve all the errors. look honestly i can't even extract my files any more without a bloody error, and 2 people fighting over whether winrar or 7zip works better.

I recommend 7 zip its all the rage nowadays ;D

mrsmesi can't even extract my files any more without a bloody error.

Completely uninstall winrar. Reboot your computer. Install the latest version.

why bother with all that when you can download 7 zip and be on your way ;)tip - download 7 zip nowUninstall winrar later

usoppu stop confusing the issue. Downloading 7zip will not fix the problem.

ok do as TirithRR instructed.......................... :'(

well now it's complaining that the file is broken, is there a way, to fix it?

hassel, hasselyou know what i'll hint at ;)

Redownload it and it should work.Also guys, stop being gits and confusion, if you do not have anything constructive to add then stay out of the thread.
