I try to download files,but some files go to my winRAR folder,that in which i do not have updated.Is there any way i can download the files that i want without having to purchase winRAR,or does my downloads being deverted to winRAR mean i dont have enough space to support the download???? ??I dont know anything about computers,so any help purtaining to this matter would be greatly apreciated.

When you download, doesn't the computer ask to verify a destination?

Well K.

You made me look up winRAR. Did you download it? If so was it the trial verson? Did it expire if you did download?

I am thinking even though it is outdated and un-runnable (is that a word?)

It still has control of your downloads. Try uninstalling and see if you get command of downloads again............

It was on the computer when I baught it.It was a 40 day trial version.The thing is, is some files i can download without it going to winRAR,but some go to winRAR.I dont know why other than maybe it depends on the type of file im trying to download.I should have enough space on my comp. so i dont think thats the problem even though winRAR,I believe,is an archive folder.All i want is a file over the internet, but when i try to download it it goes to winRAR,only for it to have me try and purchase it over the web.

Uninstall WinRAR if you don't want to buy it. Click START, CONTROL PANEL, ADD OR REMOVE PROGRAMS. That ought to do it.
