    The particular files may be corrupted or 7zip/winrar may be corrupted. Check.

    Maybe the software you downloaded is a 32bit version? Have you tried going to start > programs > and running manually 7zip or WinRar as administrator? (i.e. not using the right click drop-down menu shell extension on a zip)
