Not sure if win-rar is your problem, I use 7-zip. I think you problem
is letting the zip program control your installs. I never do that.
Un-zip your compressed mod into a regular folder and give the folder
the name of the mod so you can always identify it for later. I store all
of my unzipped mods on a separate HD.
Now you are in control. Open up your MW folder, then the data folder.
Now open up the mod folder you want to install next to it on your desktop.
Grab, drag, and drop the separate folders from the mod folder into the
data folder. They are primary text, mesh, and icon folders with an .esp
icon. Some mods are just texture mods and contain no .esp. Its best
to read the *read me* before doing this. There are times when the
installs are a little unclear so ask around until you get the hang of it.
Its also important to back up the data file folders you are adding to,
and do some testing to make sure mod is working properly. Once
you are sure then you may disregard the back-ups. I do one mod
at a time so I can make sure which mod or any causes any trouble.
Most importantly read this:

I highly suggest Wrye Mash to keep your mod healthy and working properly.
Hope this is of some help.
Basically I download the certain mod and try to extract it with Winrar and once I extract it the destination is something like....
C drive > Program files > Bethesda Softworks > Morrowind > Data files (I think thats what it's called).
And it comes up with a bunch of errors like....
C:\Users\Roha.\Downloads\mvp30rc1.rar: Cannot create mvp-rc301txt.
Acess is denied.
And so on and on..... At the end it says total errors: 1712.... Maybe this is happening cause I'm using winrar?
What is happening I just wanna use mods.
This has happened with every mod I've downloaded.
Help appreciated.
