And I learned a new trick as well regarding using a proxy-server. My new "best friend" for the day is BabelFish Translation - I grew up in a household where German/Greek were spoken, but the only thing I learned was that when the adults let fly with some mumbo-jumbo, I was in HOT water (and it was time to hide)! Appreciate your hard work on this - and it shows you really can't keep a good "undead"fox down ;). Now here's the funny part: like copmom, I've been using WinRar past its trial expiration date (dl'd it on March 10 and its still ticking). I looked up the version no. and its 3.71! So, I guess I'll wait to see if this one gives up the ghost, in which case I'll have a replacement for it. Question: Why would someone choose to use a .rar file instead of a .zip file? The only reason I use WinRar is for the occasional Poser freebie, which is like one out of every thirty, all others come in .zip format. Just curious....</p> <p>Sleeplox??!!! I luv it...heh, heh. Hey, daytime is for sleeping - and if beauty-sleep was for real, I would be the sexiest hamster on the planet LOL, how about you?!</p> <p>Nh - the best advice I have for you is...never take MY advice(I'm still just a wanna-be-geek). That being said, use the proxy-server K8 posted, copy and paste the original address into the blank space after URL on their form and hit enter. I had to do it a few times before it would go thru. After that, just fill out the form (first name, last name, and email twice)and hit submit. You can use this URL for a translation: <a href="http://babelfish.altavista.com/" rel="nofollow">http://babelfish.altavista.com/</a> You should get an email right away, at least, I did, then click on the second link down, which is where you get the key. Again, use BabelFish to translate the email. I hope this helps.<br /> hg </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/3235/page/2#post-28707 Tue, 06 May 2008 06:47:37 +0000 hamstergirl 28707@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>Nh, this dummy will let you know if it worked shortly - i'm in the middle of the process here......<br /> hg </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/3235/page/2#post-28699 Tue, 06 May 2008 06:17:28 +0000 Nh 28699@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>Can anyone provide dummy proof instructions on how this works?

It can unzip winrar and many more zipped files. Compression rates are second to none. It's one of the best utilities I've bought in a long while, and I've had winrar for years now.

After downloading the registration for WinRAR, I noticed that the file was a .rar file. When I clicked to unzip it, SecureZip popped up! However, when I went into SecureZip to un zip the .rar file, my PC wouldn't do the job and gave me a warning about the file! So I just deleted the thing. After all, if SecureZip can handle .rar files, then I really see no need in even having WinRAR....registered or not. </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/3235#post-28513 Sun, 04 May 2008 18:36:14 +0000 guest32 28513@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>Thanks, I have 3.71 so I had to uninstall it then reinstall it.
