Re: RAR file???
I've used WinRar to open RAR files

You need winrar. A .rar file is similar to a .zip file, just a compression of a number of files in to one larger file.

P.s. Winrar is the best program for opening compressed files, winzip is a pile of crap!

There are plenty of free cracked versions out there on torrent sites... But most people don't agree with that sort of thing.

Re: RAR file???
Or stay legitand grab a copy of 7Zip - which will do ZIP, RAR and about anything else too.
And its free so no need to install a hack that will also probably put a virus on your system...

Re: RAR file???
winrar has a 30-day trial i think, but it doesn't stop you using it after that. you just have to click yes or something in a pop up
