.rar files are just compressed files. you have to uncompress them first to get to the goodness inside. search for a program called winrar

yes they are like zip files, but made with a program called winrar. However you cvan use all types of programs like alladin stuffit, winace, winzip etc to open them. Bit of a pc n00b aren't you :p

just make sure you have all the rars,
alot of the time big files will be split into several rars,
the last one always being a bit smaller than the rest.
then just click on one and extract.

alot of my movie files come like this,
with pars so quick par is a good program to have if you have multiple rars with a couple missing.
in this caes you need the par files also.

hope this helps a bit.

yes winzip is fine, just open them out with that, either by double click on it/ opening the program winzip and selcting that file/ selcting the program to open the file with from the a list.
