WinRar can't extract any of my files...

Post » Sat May 28, 2011 5:22 pm

I'm certain they're WinRar compatible, but WinRar can't extract them because either "Access is denied." or "Could not find specified path." Help, please? :[

It sounds to me like your files are corrupted, try re-downloading them?

Perhaps, but surely not every file I downloaded is corrupted... What are the chances?

it could be if you download them all from the same source, but its true that they are small. It could also be that your winrar distro is bad, they had problems with earlier versions and vista. Are you using vista, if you are you may need to disable UAC. Also neither of those are winrar errors, which is why I am assuming its your OS or your files

list of errors:

I'm using Windows7, but I just disabled my UAC. I'll give it another go, now. Thank you. :]

What do you mean by "WinRar Distro"?

Oh!!! *facepalm*

Thanks. That seems to work fine, so long as I run 7zip as an admin... Lol.
