hello. i have a really strange problem. Everytime i open winzip, my printer starts printing and winzip doesnt open. I have NO IDEA why it does it. ive restarted and all. Its only been happening since last night, after i installed ACD See 7.0...maybe that done it? Anyone know how i can fix this? It even does it when i use the XP Compression feature. Winrar works fine tho.

Welcome to Neowin Greg.

weird problem, only uninstall your winzip and download Powerarchiver 9.02 @ http://www.powerarchiver.com is the better application and works fine for all types of files (Y) :)

No, he's *already released* an icon pack.

Other archiving programs that are worth a look:

7-Zip - http://www.7zip.org

IZArc - http://www.izsoft.dir.bg/

TUGZip - http://www.tugzip.com/

I have to agree, Winrar is way too slow when uncompressing files that i've experienced, nothing at all wrong with Winzip IMO. It's such a familiar interface for me personally, that it'd be taking away part of my life if I stopped using it :laugh:

Winzip = .ZIP

Winrar = everything else

Dunno bout you, but I think only .rars and everything else except .zip are slow to decompress.

and I just don't geddit. It's just a decompressor program, it's not like you're gonna stare at that thing for ages anyway. and imo it's heaps easier to just right click and select decompress to a folder.

    • Nope. This will be disabled instantly on all my devices. But at least they're not forcing it upon users, it can be turned off.

    • Microsoft employee behind AnduinOS releases more updates, here's how to upgrade by Paul Hill A small Linux distribution created by a Microsoft employee drew quite a bit of attention in recent months with its attempts to ease users into Linux by looking just like Windows. This week, AnduinOS was upgraded to a new batch of point releases, including 1.3.3, 1.2.6, and 1.1.6. These point releases do not bring too many changes, and all the changes that are introduced are identical across all three versions. Here are the release notes this time: Fixed an accessibility issue that caused the screen reader unable to read the text. Added librime-plugin-lua for ibus-rime users to support Lua scripts. This only affects zh_CN by default. Added policykit-desktop-privileges to the default app list to allow no-password prompts for mount, simple updates, etc. As a new Linux distribution on the scene, updating it is not as straightforward as opening a software store and tapping the upgrade button. For now, upgrades rely on a script. To update your computer using this script, open up a terminal window and type do_anduinos_upgrade. Running this command will bring you up to the latest point release for your respective major version, even if you’re not on the latest point release right now. In the future, Anduin Xue, the Microsoft employee who develops AnduinOS, wants to allow you to grab new versions via sudo apt upgrade. For the time being, users will need to stick to running the script to ensure their device is up to date. Last month, it was announced that AnduinOS 1.4 will be based on Ubuntu 25.10 and will drop in late October, while Anduin OS 1.5 will be based on Ubuntu 26.04 LTS and arrive in late April 2026. Hopefully, we will see more maturation with those updates, such as upgrading the system with an apt command instead of a script.
