Zip folder problem, really need help!!!

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.basics (More info?)

Do you still have the original normal zipfile?
With the Winzip version I use (v8.0), I can just dble-clk to open it,
highlight all the files and drag & drop all them wherever I like.

If you can't do that it means there's a corrupt file in there.
If that's the case, try dragging them out one at a time to recover all the
good ones.
