Just bought and downloaded WOFF and it will not unzip.

So, I guess I need a " UN ZIPPER " that works well with Windows Home pro 64 bit and WOFF 2'0.

As some of you old guys remember I am not a GURU with the high tech stuff.

I really like DISK ----- Then this stress never happens.

Thanks in advance for your great help. Later I'll ask how to back it up, although
some of my friends will be able to help on that.

Download a program called .7zip.
No sweat. Easy to use and small download. And it's free.

Download the correct version for your Windows here: 7-zip

Save it to "Downloads"; then execute the EXE file from there. Easy-peasy...

CW3SF, you say it won't unzip - what exactly is the error? Detail always helps in technical problems.

Also make sure the download actually completed fully, otherwise it won't unzip.

It may be possible you need to disable your AV if you have Norton, or one of the free ones.
as if listed in the FAQ.

See http://www.overflandersfields.com/Downloads/FAQ%20WOFF.pdf
Section 1)
section 7)

they talk about WOFF 1, but the general info is helpful.

BTW will move this to the Technical forum shortly, that's were problems go.

+1 to Pol's post. I have to disable Microsoft Security Essentials Real-Time Protection to unzip most things with executable files contained in them. MSE is free, but it is overly aggressive. After I've installed something I can then re-enable MSE Real-Time Protection and what I've installed will run fine, but during unzipping and installation MSE has to be off in most cases for me.

Bucksnort, I run the same antivirus as you and I have never had to disable it for any of my downloads whether "exe" or "zip". Isn't that interesting that we have different experiences. I run windows 7 (64 bit)

How big is WOff 2.0 exactly !!

Thanks, I'll try this down load again. Last time it took almost an hour.

My Verizon MIFI is at 5 bars in a 4Gig Zone.

Wish me luck.

Not at my WOFF machine but, by memory, it is 770 MB approximately.
Someone with it in front of them can correct me.
And no need for all the "caps" stuff. We're all friends here.
And good luck!
