I have zip files that have gone bad. But not all of them. some are still good. On the ones that are bad i get the message that this is an invalid archive. These are on both old zips and new zips. but some old and new zips still work fine. I've tried using winzip, winace, and winrar.
Please help

Hello PC_Freak
Welcome to CTH
I dont know if this will help or not but you could try winzip support they have a frequently asked questions, I have zip files over 5 yrs old and they work fine,so i never had this problem.

lets hope its not your harddrive causing this problem,you might want to run thorough scandisk and make sure everything ok.
