Problems unziping files?

Deidara83 · 03-18-2008, 05:21 PM

Anyone else have this problem?
I am currently using WinRar to unzip whatever utils and things I get from the nice people on this site. For the majority of things I do unzip I never have any problems unzipping unless say someone use a password in another language.

Sure they give instructions on how to just copy an paste the password into the box that comes up if you attempt to unzip the file, but I can never get this to work. My computer is configd to view unicode so I can read the chinese characters but I don't know if somehow when I use WinRar to unzip these files if the characters are not copyied right.

Any help or advice? What's a better util than WinRar

Try using the latest WinRAR. Improved Unicode support was added to v3.70.

v3.71 is the latest version.
