lostcowboy and tc...... I found the problem..... I emailed winzip support and they gave me some links for virus cleanup downloads. I didn't even know I had a virus, but after I ran the program it found 185 files that had the CIH virus.(also called Chernobyl,spacefiller or Win32.CIH) The program cleaned up all but one file that's listed as windows temp\o.exe I can't get rid of that one for some reason..... I'll try Winzip again and see what happens. Thanks here's the link: http://www.pspl.com/download/cleancih.htm
