heheheh, confused are we? I havent re-installed WINZIP, I have Poser 4 in no problem, I am just having problems unzipping these compressedzipped files I downloaded from the free section of this site. I shouldn't have used the word "manually". What I mean is without winzip, or any of that kind of software besides the minimum performance one the new system came with. Thank you for replying though! I am about to check that link you left, I hope it will solve all my (pathetic) begginer problems. Thanks again! Heather
