WinZip question

My free trial ran out on winzip. I usually just uninstall the program when this happens and download a new version to get a fresh 45 day free trial again but it won't let me uninstall it. Is there any other program I can use that works well with megaupload like this?

    Are you trying to create a zip file?

    I've never had Winzip expire in such a way that affects extracting.

    Winace is good too.

    If you can't uninstall it just go to Control Panel > Add/Remove Software. Then find win-rar and click remove. Then check the folder where it was installed in case some files/folders were left behind.

    I have had the same 30 day trial for a good few months now. If it tells you need to re-download or some crap like that in a popup window when you open it, just see if you can close th popup and use it as normal. You probably can.

    (I thought you were talking about win-rar. You should just get win-rar instead, problem sorted: http://www.win-rar.com)
