Don't know that winzip really comes with winxp home but here's how I make it work. When you get prompted for the lisence, use your right or left arro to find the use evaluation version button. When you find that button, you must activate it with the spacebar, not enter. Once winzip opens, it is farely easy to use and all the menus read. There are some other command-line compression utilities you can use that I could mention if you find winzip to difficult. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Linksma Mezgeja" <love2knit@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: "jfw" <jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Thursday, January 06, 2005 4:05 PM Subject: Win Zip with XP Home I am back to using JAWS 4.5 since 5.0 would not work on my system for complex reasons which took 5 hours to figure out today. It seems as though Win Zip was installed on my computer with XP Home as its operating system. I find difficulty using the installed Win Zip program with its constant licensing agreement, if for no other reason, which I understand does not appear in the version bundled with XP. How can I use the XP version of Win Zip instead of the free-standing program? If it were you, what would you do to disable this separate Win Zip program so that I could use the Win Zip that comes with XP Home? thanks very much for your guidance. -- To post a message to the list, send it to jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe from this mailing list, send a message to jfw-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the word unsubscribe in the subject line.
