I just double click it, and it opens up the unzip software.

Download the file and then use WINRAR or WINZIP to uncompress it

EDIT: I think win 8 has its own unzipper:)

I've just spent 1/2 an hour installing winzip, and it turns out it is only a trial version and the help function is useless, and my overworked little brain is in "Derrrrrrr" mode. I can't find the UNZIP feature.

Hehe.... Sorry Craig. It should only take about half a minute. May I ask why you need the full version?

Right click over the file you want to unzip and it should say unzip or extract to, etc.

Thanks, Andy, but I've done that and there is no unzip feature on this stupid version.

Try 7-zip

It's an open source program and does rar and zip

I'm on phone but if you type in 7 zip to google the first result is the site...

Yeah 7 zip is pretty good.

I am chucking in the towel until I get some funds to pay for a program. My head hurts!!!
