I don't do email support and you really should not ask for it. When a
response is posted in the newsgroup, a lot of people are going to review it
and make sure that the answer is correct or at least that it will not do any
harm to your PC. When you get an email, no one can review it to ensure it
has good information. Finally, when you use a valid email address in a
public newsgroup, chances are you are going to get tons of spam and emails
with a virus attached.

You need a .zip program like this one: www.winzip.com
