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.

    • Surface Copilot+ PCs coming to classrooms from July 22, turbocharged with on-device AI by Paul Hill Microsoft has announced that it’s launching the new Surface Pro 12-inch and Surface Laptop 13-inch models specifically for education customers from July 22. The Redmond giant said that these devices are being launched as a direct response to feedback from educators who want practicality and ease of use in their diverse classrooms. These are both Copilot+ PCs so teachers and students will be able to leverage the latest AI features thanks to the dedicated Neural Processing Units (NPUs) that allow for on-device AI. The on-device AI, aside from delivering well-known features like Recall, will enable new education features such as a new app Microsoft is working on called Microsoft Learning Zone. Microsoft Learning Zone will allow teachers to create personalized lessons by adapting content from trusted sources like OpenStax, generating interactive games with Kahoot, and tracking students progress. Microsoft expects this to help teachers save time and deliver a more flexible and engaging classroom. Another AI feature that will be available is Click to Do. This lets students highlight text or images and get contextual help. It can be used to summarize a paragraph or explain a graph. To activate it, students can press the Windows key and click. This feature runs entirely on device so inputs to the AI are secure and you don’t need to ever worry about third-parties seeing. Finally, these devices will also have accessibility features such as Voice Access which lets you navigate with speech and Live Captions which provide real-time subtitles and translations for spoken content. These make the devices more inclusive for students with disabilities. Regarding security, these laptops come with the Microsoft Pluton security chip directly integrated into the processor for protecting sensitive data. It can protect data such as passwords and sign-ins, even if your device is stolen. Thanks to automatic Windows Updates, schools never need to worry about falling behind on updates either. With the impending demise of Windows 10 in mid-October, these Surface devices arrive just in time for schools looking for somewhere to upgrade to. Aside from AI features and security, Microsoft is also pushing other key features including easy repair with replacement components at the Microsoft Store and iFixit, their lightweight design and all-day battery life making them ideal for carrying and surviving the school day, and their compatibility with popular education apps such as TestNav, Google Classroom, Minecraft Education, and Adobe Express.
    • Taras Buria, do you think you could write more about Windows Vista? It is always such a pleasure — quite a pleasure — to see it mentioned in the title of a news article. What about an editorial?
