When I try to utilize the zip feature in XP on a particular file I am getting
the following error:

File not found or no read permission.

This is a very large file (which is why I am zipping it). I am able to zip
other smaller files.

Is there a size restriction to the XP file zip feature?

Thanks,
 
Hi,

Actually, I don't think this is a permissions issue. I am the only user on
this laptop. I created the backup file and I am a local and network
administrator. I checked the permissions and it is wide open. So...I am
back to thinking I have a size issue or there is something unique going on.

Any other thoughts?

Thanks,

Yuke
 
Then the file is locked by some process (in use). Reboot and try again.

Or get WinZip.
