zipped folder problem

[Gomar]

okay, so i have been able to extract zipped folders ever since i got my computer, but i am now getting these strange messages whenever i try to open them: "no files to extract" (when i try to unzip them), and "this compressed/zipped folder is invalid/corrupted (when i just double-click on them). any hints on how to solve this?

Most of the time it's caused by a download problem ... try to download the file again (after emptying your browser's cache) or try downloading the file from another source

I tried that, and for some reason it didn't work. So instead I tried to open another zip on my hard drive that has worked before, and then that didn't even work. So just a few minutes ago I tried logging out and logging back in, and now it does work..
Hmmm... what in the world could've been wrong?

Perhaps your computer has been smoking some strange substance? :P Or maybe it just needed a good ole reboot.

That is rather weird though.

Corruption happens from time to time. Usually if something strange is happening the first thing I do is reboot. If that doesn't fix it, I enquire further.

WinRAR is indeed the shizzle.
