Rar fault

[davidsplash]

had a problem i have 900mb on a windows xp computer left. I had a rar file with a exe and a txt file in it i extracted a arcois backup version 10 to my computer. Then when the arcois was open i tried to view the txt file via powerachiver. This just froze my computer, but I could view it in powerdesk file manager ok. so it has to be a powearchiver fault.

@davidsplash:

…. i tried to view the txt file via powerachiver…

How? and why PA to view a text file?

Any files that you can send us which reproduce your issue will be great.

the txt file was within the archive and i was double clicking on it to see what was inside it

Sorry, having difficulty understanding your post.
What do you mean by arcois? Did you extract the files or not?

best would be to update archive and send us an link… it is very hard from your post to understand whats going on.

not possible to upload archive. However if you download acrcois backup version 10 and create a txt file of your serial and activation code which i did for safty and rar it up and then open extract arcois backup 10 and then try to open the txt file pa seems to not be doing anything. If you just iopen the txt file and didnt extract the arcois backup it works fine. If its to do with space on my computer as i only have 900mb left on a windows xp (second computer) (main computer windows 2000). shouldnt there be a warning message if this is the case.

update to tghe problem

if i try and double click a txt file within an rar file nothing is displayed however if i do the same process using powerdesk file manager i get to see the txt file so it has to be a powerarchiver rar fault. get a rar file with two files for example one an exe file and the other a txt file and you will get the same problem.

using windows xp home edition
