My old version of WinZip was acting up,so I deleted it.Have tried to download

a newer version from several sites but get the message,"A device attached to

the System is not functioning".

I am using Win ME and am guessing that is the problem.Anyone know where I

can download a version compatable with Win ME??

Thanks for any help...

Re: WinZip.

 

Not too sure why you particularly need "WinZip". Are you aware that WinMe

has its own inbuilt version which allows you both 'zip' and 'unzip' files

and folders?

 

If your installation of WinMe doesn't seem to offer that facility, it may

have never been enabled therefore you may need to enable it.

 

Control Panel | Add/Remove Programs / Windows Setup tab.

Scroll for System Tools and click 'Details', then under 'Components:',

Scroll for 'Compressed Folders' - Check the tick box to enable it.

Go to the above website (Old Version) and download the version that you

uninstalled or a newer one.

Re: WinZip.

 

For some strange reason my WinZip had disappeared from my start menu and

through this link I was able to reinstall version 9.0 with permission,

because I had purchased the previous version with accompanying registration

#.

Thanks for making this quick process possible, Heather.

Hope Charlie could benefit from this , too.

 

Harry.

It certainly isn't necessary to reinstall an app just to restore a Start

menu shortcut.

Re: WinZip.

 

 

Probably should have done some investigating, but for lack of concentration,

reinstallation worked quite well for me.

Again, my time on the puter is very limited, due to other priorities.

Thanks for the 'hint', Gary.

Re: WinZip.

 

Sorry, I could have added the detail, but I figured if I just jogged your

memory... <s>.

 

Hint to others: Create a shortcut on your Desktop, first, then move it to

wherever in the Start menu you want it.

Re: WinZip.

 

I have to say though, Mart, it is a pita compared to Winzip - or indeed

Winrar or almost every other archiver. If you install Winrar then in

Configuration select Cascading Menus, then uncheck the lowest 4 of these,

i.e. the ones concerned with making as opposed to extracting, you can use

Winrar indefinitely - to unzip via the handy context menu and never be

nagged to register! Even if you stick with Compressed Folders to create

archives, Winrar to unzip them is far superior and really well worth

installing.

 

Meanwhile Winrar is better than Winzip and Compressed Folders, for a

superior compression algorithm. Of course, if you've registered either

Winzip or Winrar you can create self-extractors too.

 

Funny though - there are things that once known, the cat is out of the bag.

Winzip's corrected now, but from the version for Win 3.x up to Winzip 8.1

you can register it to 'x' with the code '00020000'. You know, once someone

tells you that, you can't forget it if you try! ;-) 8.1 was perfectly good,

of course, and you can doubtless find it still (though I dumped my copy

along with my NT4.0 stuff recently). Post Winzip 8.1 you get the

long-awaited command line add-on, so getting Winzip beyond 30 days without

nag screens, for free, by using 8.1 has it's disadvantages. And if you don't

really want self extractor or command line options, Compressed Folders to

zip and Winrar to unzip are a pretty good combo anyway, and what I'd

recommend.

 

Hey, Mart! If you want to continue investigating Vista without actually

paying a farthing for it, I can't see what Vista has that can't be

configured in the Server 2008 beta that is valid until next April! Aero is

growing on me. I could end up thinking it's bubblicious! And you can turn

the awful UAC off easily. Hard finding AV for it though, free or paid.

Obviously as a server it is expected to be behind a router rather than

software. And Windows Defender is part of the program (though SR isn't!) -

not that I'm filled to overflowing with confidence at that! I was going with

a Kaspersky beta -I trust it to essentially work, but it wouldn't update as

the key had expired (I downloaded it last night). Such are the trials of

beta testing, eh? Better try again, I suppose. Or go to bed.

 

Had a wash tonight! With half a bucket of water! By god it was fine! Back to

wet wipes for the rest of the week though. Thankfully they refilled the

nearest bowser tonight - there has been considerable doubt that they were

ever going to get round to it.

 

Well, guess I'll get down the garden before bed! Ironically around here when

I was a kid is the only place I was familiar with outside toilets (and to

demonstrate how weird nostalgia is I actually miss them!). Today there are

no walls though. It is an open plan outside lav.

Re: WinZip.

 

In fairness Shane, I didn't argue the point for or against "bells'n

whistles", my response was to offer a simple and *free* solution to (what I

guessed was) an urgent problem. Further, I'd dumped WinZip years ago in

favour of the WinMe - and more so - the XP compression utilities, which have

always been quite satisfactory for my needs.

 

Pita compared to WinZip? - Not my experience. In fact I found WinZip and

WinRar were more complicated/fiddly (too many bells). However I don't use

compression very often (other than .jpg and .mp3 - where I have other

applications to take care of those file types). Most times, I only need to

unzip (downloaded drivers, for example) where the MS utilities have always

been perfectly adequate for me.

 

Regarding the (WinZip) key-code - I'd registered for mine in the Win98 (or

was that 95) days, but as I later found the MS WinMe (de)compression utility

worked fine, I never bothered to upgrade and so the key was effectively

wasted (on me).

 

Hmm.. I'll have a think about Vista <bg>

 

I see Germany has sent you a huge water tanker. Are they trying to muscle-in

on the French? One consolation, we can be assured that British water has

been passed. Only the Brits would vandalise a bowser. <shrug>

Re: WinZip.

 

I never used the compression in WinME when I had it.

I think I looked at WinZip but ended up getting PowerArchiver which I

think for £19.99 bought the program and lifetime updates, and they work

<g>

I've had it several years now and it has gone through a couple of version

upgrades that needed new install keys and I've got them with no problem,

and the program is good to use even though I don't really use it too much

Re: WinZip.

 

Hi Joan,

 

My guess (and from my own earlier experience) is that most users of WinZip

probably started out in the pre-WinMe days and therefore (bought?) installed

WinZip (or other 3rd-party utility). When they upgraded to WinMe, they

either didn't realize there was a compression utility included (possibly

because it was 'disabled' by duhfault), didn't realize that it opened (and

compressed) 'real' zip files or - because it effectively used a different

GUI - were so used to WinZip, maybe they couldn't be bothered with the WinMe

version.

 

However, being a 'tight-wad', £19.99 was a enough to make find out <g>

I don't get why you don't suppose it might have been the r-click context

menu options, Mart. But then I don't get how you can fail to appreciate

tabbed browsing, either. Unless - in both cases - you gave up before they

were configured, just threw it in and said you can't be arsed, and never

actually found out why these things are made?

 

They're not in the snake oil category, if that's what you think. I sometimes

wonder if you appreciate how insulting it is when you seem to suggest that

they are. Or that I'm the sort who's easily mesmerised by things that

glisten. Never mind all the others who use Winzip, Winrar, Infozip and the

other open source ones I forget the names of, favoured by people I freely

admit I'll never know as much as if I live to be 100.

 

Oh, and PowerArchiver.

 

Meanwhile you freely admit to rarely using archivers and after all, if you

don't know that we use them because they involve less clicking/less typing,

you obviously don't do a great deal of zipping/unzipping. While at the very

least tabbed browsing requires shorter mouse movements - but you don't have

multiple pages open at once, so you wouldn't know. OK, fine, your choice.

But trying to make either look like the rest of us are transfixed with

ephemera and only use this stuff because we haven't figured out the true

meaning of life - presumable because you're afraid you'll appear less than

'a guru', and what? You won't get the coveted pseudo-BSc/PhD to put after

your name?

 

The moment I bring a potentially interesting point up you act like I'm

trying to insinuate something. You must think that at any moment you'll be

discovered for a fake. Why else would you always go on the defensive when it

isn't called for and proffer offensive theories as to why we don't do what

you do? Or if you think adding a <g> or a smiley fools anyone but a fool and

allows you to be offensive and get away with it...well, not with me you

don't, not indefinately.

 

I'll tell you what, Mart. How about not supposing I'm so dull-witted you can

imply you know better than me? I use things like Winzip or Winrar because

they are more capable than Compressed Folders. And me and most of the

rest of the world think tabbed browsing is superior, because it is, simple

as that. If you want nothing to do with it, do, please yourself, but please

do, stop, trying to paint the rest of us as kids in order to come over as

wise.

 

Get the idea I've had enough?

 

I *will* be dealing with *he who talks at us all*, only the arguments are

more complicated and I am still really put out down here. In fact I'm

getting tired of that, too.

Wow Shane! - When you flame, you certainly go full throttle. Sorry you feel

that way.
