try to unzip the file using windows native extactor instead of using winzip see if it enables you to extract it that way , what is the driver you are trying to extract? we may be able to find one elsewhere for you :)

Native extractor? How do I do that?


The updated driver is: Realtek Gigabit Ethernet PCI v7.017 (for WIN7).

here is a link to a newer version v7.018 Realtek :) give this one a try

Most times, you are far better off to go to the manufacture's website for drivers rather than a third party site or Windows Updates. I have a folder in my Bookmarks/Favorites with the links to the manufacturers' of each hardware device on my computer from the CPU to the adapters, hard drives, printer, etc.

I usually do not update unless I am experiencing a problem. Sometimes, I have found that the most current driver does not work as in the case with my video card. I had to install the third one on the list rather than the latest.
