Now go to Step 4 in the instructions, where you select the files to want to extract. _________________ Richard

In the instructions you are told to Save the file to a known location and then
Quote: | right-click and select "Extract All" |
However as you have WinZip installed this has taken over the built in ZIP file handling and complicates matters slightly.
You'll need to save the file to your hard drive and then right click the file and see if you get an Extract All option. |

This may be a red herring, but do you have a full version of WinZip installed, or an evaluation copy? This may be the cause of the Agreement that you are required to accept.
With the Full version, on double-clicking the zip file, I see a list of .ov2 and .bmp files and then I click the 'Extract' button at the top and make sure that there is a tick mark in the 'All Files' bit of the small pop up.
Hope this helps. _________________ Ric - TomTom 520 DEAD - Passed to the great traffic jam in the sky. Now using Maps & Waze on Samsung Galaxy S4 + CamerAlert of course! |

As Paul mentions above, you don't actually NEED Winzip at all if you are using a Windows PC. The PC can unzip files all by itself.
Unfortunately, it seems you have got a version of Winzip installed and it is trying to take over.
If you don't think you need it for anything specific, you could just uninstall it (Start menu, Settings, Control Panel, Add/remove programs)
Then, next time you try it, you should be back to the normal "Right click and Extract all" situation. |

Did you try to click on the other thing that was too fast to read? |
