Extracting files but no files exist??

Believe me, I have no problem answering questions that are silly. Right now I will answer any question you ask including my eye color to get this archive opened. I tried opening that way, and PA hung for 9 hours and never moved. When I say moved, I mean the progress bars never go above 0%… So I think that technique did end up freezing it up. I cant imagine 0% progress for 9 hours is working. Also for whatever it is worth, when I go into task manager to close it down. (I have done this more than once while trying to extract this) It is showing memory usage for PA between 800megs and 1.4 gigs of RAM being used.
Again I dont know if that has any bearing. The next thing I will try is to hook up an external drive with 1TB free and see if maybe it is a harddrive space issue.
I can attach some screenshots of the progress bar during actual extraction if that helps at all.

Might want to try with PACL to external drive… Use paext.exe and it will show you list of commands and examples. Download it from download page.

The issue in this thread is actually my issue and I’d love to bounce some more ideas off of you guys to see if I can resolve my problem.
I’m on Windows 7 and PowerArchiver 2010. The archive was also created with PA2010.
I have 6GBs of RAM and I am only trying to move a few files from the archive, so I know I have enough space for that. Unless someone can confirm that I need to have space for all the files on the archive before I can move even one file?
I am able to load the main zip file and see the folders and files within that archive. I can even drag just one file from the archive into a new folder on my hard drive. I can preview all the files in the archive.
However, if I try to move say, 5 files, I end up with the same issue described above – 0% progress and Not Responding. Each time I try to restart the process, it takes 15-20 minutes to get the archive open and I try again with the same result.
