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.

    • So, do nothing basically, as long as you deploy Windows Updates? Pretty much yeah. Some Linux distros distribute update the secureboot certs as well, assuming you do use SecureBoot.
    • On one hand, YouTube videos are filled with so much fillers and the Youtubers intentionally speak slowly to increase video time and "engagement" metrics. On the other, Google's asking you to not stay on their site for longer. That's a win-win for viewers. So, I think it'll be axed or de-emphasised in the near future.

    • Ubuntu gets second-ever snapshot release for Questing Quokka by Paul Hill Canonical has announced the release of Ubuntu 25.10 Questing Quokka Snapshot 2, a monthly development build that gives testers and developers a base from which to work on software for the upcoming release. Snapshot 1 was released at the end of May and Snapshot 3 is scheduled for July 31. Notably, the release date of Snapshot 2 and 3 have moved since last month. The Snapshot 2 update is available for various Ubuntu spins, such as Kubuntu and Lubuntu. To download, head to Ubuntu CD Image and go to the link for the version you want, such as ubuntu/. Once you’ve picked, go to releases/ > 25.10/ > snapshot-2/ and download the appropriate image for your computer - most people will want ‘64-bit PC (AMD64) desktop image’. The announcement mentions that these snapshot builds are not production ready, so you should not be installing them on a machine you use to do your work and daily computing. Canonical said that these builds should be seen as “throwaway artifacts”, whatever that means. If you’re an Ubuntu developer, you should submit your changes in the Ubuntu archive by July 28 to see it in the third snapshot. If you make any changes, Canonical asks you to update the Release Notes with the updates that you have worked on, so everyone knows what changed. Speaking of release notes, Canonical has been updating them incrementally. So far, we know that GNOME 48 is being used alongside the Linux 6.14 kernel. The use of GNOME 48 means that Ubuntu 25.10 only supports Wayland sessions as X.org has finally been dropped. Wayland has been used for a while on Ubuntu, so most people shouldn't have any issues as a result of the switchover. If you want to try out Ubuntu 25.10 Snapshot 2, you can find the download links over on the Ubuntu website. Just remember, these are not intended to be used on production machines!
