I thought you had to pay for the licenxe after 40 days. If i were to uninstall WinRar, are the files still going to remain Winrarzip. Because if they are, i dont think i can extract them through the wizard,can i. If i can, there is no problem. And do u have any idea what they want for the license, or do i ahve to pay anything. Thanks very, very, much for your time. George
