What are .RAR files?
« on: March 03, 2009, 04:39:26 pm »
What are the .rar files I find in the IB subjects, they're quite large (more than 10mb), and they don't seem to work. Do I have to use a certain browser or settings to open them, and what are they?

NO man.     .rar  are zip files . U prbably dnt have a unzipping software in your pc. Go to www.filehippo.com and in the search type "peazip" or there are some other software like " winzip " . Download it, i recommend peazip. Post any questions if u still cant work it out.

Pea zip wont ask for a password unless the file ur are unzipping needs a password to be unzipped. Then bad luck man. U cant unzip it unless u have that password. Wht are u trying to unzip ?? Tell us the name plz
And have u dwnlded Peazip from www.filehippo.com ??

Instructions for using pea zip
1. Make a folder in the drive u want to unzip the file. Name the folder as u want to.
2. Run Peazip
3. There is a icon at the top of the Peazip, named " Extract all to ". Hit it and select the folder u have    created before.
The files will be unzipped in the specific folder u have selected and u can run them from now on.
