| 1411216 | 2015-11-10 21:57:00 | I've received a zip file (that the recipient tells me has a password on it), I have a windows 7 machine (no idea what machine he created the zip on) and I've right clicked the zip file, and selected "extract all", it then prompts for a destination folder so I select a folder (still haven’t been prompted for a password here), and then I just get error messages.... "An unexpected error is keeping you from copying the file..... " Error code 0x80004005: Unspecified Error. Any idea would the issue could be? Could it be to what they used to zip the file in? |

| 1411217 | 2015-11-10 23:18:00 | download winrar or 7-zip and try extracting - probably find it extracts ok with one of those instead of windows built in one | bevy121 (117) | ||
| 1411218 | 2015-11-11 01:08:00 | Windows only supports one encryption method in Zip files and it's the less secure one. +1 to bevy121, personally I prefer 7-zip of the 2 |

| 1411221 | 2015-11-12 18:39:00 | Maybe it will help you to solve the problem. sourceforge.net Looks like a compressed and encrypted zip ....I think this will only work if you install winzip or winrar....only after installing these software u will get a pompt to enter password. Install winzip evaluation edition or winrar free edition....then try to unzip. If that doesn't work, then take look at this utility ZIP Recovery [edited] |

| 1411224 | 2015-11-13 20:56:00 | It it a bit sad to say, but it is probably wise to google the post content of first-time posters to see if there is a history of the exact question. If you do find this, then please report that person. van_loon got banned too as the behind the scenes evidence pointed to him being in cohorts with collins. Although I do give him credit for the effort he went to disguise his true intentions. :rolleyes: |
