Windows Zip: Cannot Create Output File

Hi Chuck-

I appreciate your reply, however, I have found several threads in
several boards where people are having this exact same problem. No one
seems to have the right answer.

What I have done that works is to move the files to another computer
and zip them there.

I thought it might be my directory that was corrupted, or a file, but
neither theory held. The same condition happened no matter what
directory on the computer I tried to zip files from. -- Either the
ones I was working on or the ones that were already there.

A friend told me that the zip element itself may be corrupted, or a
Windows kernel file, requiring a reinstall (which may not replace the
files) or a re-format.

Any ideas?

I could suggest ZipCentral as a better alternative to the inbuilt function.
I install this on most computers I roll out, and the users seem to prefer it.

Freeware though, so 'fraid no chance to exercise your cutlass. <g>
