Dan, If you create a zip file locally, can you then access it, or does that fail too? Do you have any zip files which you could send to a friend, and see if they can open them? I'm happy to do this for you if you attached them to a message and send to george@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx When "CRC" errors arise, this generally suggests corrupt files. Finally, exactly what error message comes up? This might help to search for the nature of the problem. George. -----Original Message----- From: guispeak@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:guispeak@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Dan Kerstetter Sent: 23 June 2007 17:19 To: guispeak@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [guispeak] Re: File Decompression Problem in XP It doesn't have anything to do with JAWS. I had my girlfriend run through the whole routine without JAWS. Even after the system restore, I couldn't unzip any files without an error message.
