    Zipped Files Problem


    Hi, I'm having a problem extracting files from a zipped folder and would appreciate any suggestions you could give.

    There are three video files in the zipped folder. Each file has a different name, file size, creation date etc... However, when I extract the files two of them turn out to be the exact same file.

    Can I do something differently or are they really the same file - just with different names? If they are the same file why do they show up as vastly different file sizes (1GB difference) in the zipped folder?

    Thanks

    Sounds like your zip file is corrupt. However it may be worth trying alternative archiving programs, here are a few good ones - WinRAR archiver, a powerful tool to process RAR and ZIP files, 7-Zip, Zip Files, Unzip Files, Compress Files and Share Files with WinZip, if all else fails you could use the native (Windows) compression software!
