thanks, i did a bit of digging and there are lots of people with the same problem, apparently it was known in the beta and was supposed to be fixed but wasn't. anyway i got winrar now and it works the way it should :)

>There is a known bug in Vista's UNZIP capability that causes this problem. I had zips that did the same thing. I switched to a freeware Unzip program (I cant think of it offhand - I'm not at my machine). I believe there is a fix available. Check Microsoft's KB for Vista and ZIP and I think you will find it.
