DooMBoy Posted November 12, 2001 Just yesterday, I downloaded the newest WinZip beta and installed it. Shortly thereafter, I was looking at some WADs at some web site for Ultimate Doom. I found one that looked quite fun to play. I downloaded it. WinZip came up. I clicked Next twice and instead of the Choose Different Folder button coming up, it came to the Find Zip File thingy. (Anyone who has WinZip knows what I'm talking about.) Is there something wrong with the new Beta? Or is it just me? 0 Share this post Link to post
nxn Posted November 12, 2001 I really don't use winzip so I can't help you with that, if you can't get it to work then just get winace, it's great, it can unzip a lot of compressed file types such as rar, zip, and others. I think it's like 2 mb big at the most, could be wrong. Search for it on www.downloads.com 0 Share this post Link to post
Crendowing Posted November 12, 2001 Try right-clicking the ZIP file and then choose "extract to". When you do that it will open up classic WinZip. 0 Share this post Link to post
DooMBoy Posted November 12, 2001 That's the main problem. Whenever I download a file, it doesn't show up in WinZip's file directory. It just doesn't make any sense. 0 Share this post Link to post
Lord FlatHead Posted November 12, 2001 Get either WinAce or PowerArchiver. Trust me. 0 Share this post Link to post

deadnail Posted November 12, 2001 Simple answer? Wizard mode WinZip is for lazy bitch moron shitheads. Are you a lazy bitch moron shithead? No? Then you should try PowerArchiver instead, it happens to be a hell of a lot more functional anyway. 0 Share this post Link to post
Crendowing Posted November 12, 2001 That's the main problem. Whenever I download a file, it doesn't show up in WinZip's file directory. It just doesn't make any sense.I meant, click on the ZIP file in Windows Explorer, not in WinZip Wizard. 0 Share this post Link to post

pilottobombadier Posted November 13, 2001 Actually, I thought Wizard mode in Winzip was way more frustrating to use than "Classic" mode...is there something I'm missing here? 0 Share this post Link to post
