Default Winzip Problem - 07-06-2004, 03:41 AM

Ok, this is really pissing me off. Let me explain:

So I go to try some skinning for the first time, and I open up pak1.pk3 with Winzip, and this is what pops up:

(sorry for image quality)

^As you can see, Winzip is asking me if I want to install a "Screen Saver"...As far as I know, this isn't supposed to happen when I do this, plus I don't think there's any Screen Savers in this pak... rolleyes:

Anyways, I tried continuing by clicking next, and this is what happens:

^Great.

Again, I click next:

^More screenshot shite.

^Now, it ends there. I've tried Unzipping it, but of course that's not what I want, since I can't Unzip them to a specified folder, it only Unzips to the Windows Screenshot folder, one at a time, and I can't change any of that.

So the final questions remains unanswered:
How do I get it to stop asking me if I want to Unzip a Screen Saver, shown back in Screenshot #1?
Is there an update for Winzip that can prevent this?
Is there a better program, that works like Winzip, that I can DL for free? Or at least use for the same purpose?

Please Help.
beer:

Have you tried changing the files extension to .zip. Then unzip the file, make your mod, zip the file back up and change the extension back to .pk3.
