If you look at that website, on the right side of each tutorial page, there
is a box that states which versions the tutorial works on. This fix works on
64bit and 32bit.

i don't know, i tried doing it from the command line, but saw no change.
so i went to download it, but after i clicked 'merge', i wasn't asked to
run. instead, i got a registry editor warning, telling me that i
basically might mess things up if i decide to go through with it, which
i did anyways. it said it added the registry files successfully, but i
still can't unzip folders. ):

is that the only file you can't unzip. it may be corrupt or software
thinks that it's dangerous ?? What is in the file ????
The software I ask you to download is 100% safe, a lot of XP&vista
users are using it.

no, it isn't just this folder. i've been having this problem for about a
month or so. all of the folders i have been trying to extract from have
contained pictures, short film clips, and mp3s. nothing is corrupt, as
all of these files have been sent from friends.

Do you have a zip folder that you can't open and that is not personal ?
If you can Email it to me with the words ATT/ VR1 as the subject. Also
try to make your own Zip file with different contend and see if you can
open them again
