1159199 2010-12-06 00:01:00 I was trying to send a personal program from XP to my W7 computer. It was originally an .rar file, with a couple of other files. All the files EXCEPT the .exe file will not extract. So I tried it in a .zip with only the .exe and it still extracts empty. Does anyone know why this is? I don't even have any virus software on my computer. dpDesignz (15919)

1159202 2010-12-06 01:32:00 Did you copy the install file from XP to Win7?? Because you cant copy files that have been installed already from one to the other. It wont work. Speedy Gonzales (78)

1159204 2010-12-07 21:19:00 Hi I sent it using Outlook 2011.
It was a self working .exe. It's not an install program.

I resolved it now though. Thanks

1159206 2010-12-07 22:55:00 Was it being deleted by antivirus software? Agent_24 (57)
1159207 2010-12-08 05:55:00 No that computer doesn't have a anti-virus program yet, it's brand new. I tried about 3 times and it just worked dpDesignz (15919)
