Hi there,
I have zip files that are emailed to my work email address and I pick them up through Windows Live Mail. Recently I have not been able to unzip the files as Winzip comes back with a message saying "Error: Central directory not found".
If I get the email sent to my yahoo email address and pick it up through the web based yahoo email, I can open the zip file no problem.
I have tried WinRar, Winzip and Winzip 64bit all with similar messages from Windows Live Mail. I'm running Windows 7 64 bit.
If on the same laptop, I login to my domain provider and login to the webmail for my work email, I can download the winzip and open it without any issues.
My conclusion is that Windows Live Mail is doing something to the zip attachment.
I have unchecked the tickbox for "Do not allow attachments to be saved or opened that could potentially be a virus" - get the email resent and still get the same message.
What has happened to Windows Live Mail with regard to zip files and how do I stop it happening?
Thanks
