Hello,

Can Vista open a rar (archive) file? I can open zip files OK, but cant find
a way to open a rar file.

Thanks

No version of Windows has a built-in way to do this. You need a
third-party program.

Or use a real operating system like Ubuntu that opens them right out of
the box. Get it at http://www.ubuntu.com/. It's free and comes with
access to thousands of free programs.

Please do *not* respond to trolls. It does absolutely no good--it
doesn't stop them from posting, and if anything, a response of any
kind makes them happy and encourages them to continue trolling since
trolls troll because they *want* responses, and they see any kind of
response as encouraging.

And for the many of us who killfile trolls like Alias, your response
does nothing but let us see their messages you quoted, messages that
we would otherwise not see at all.

I recommend that you do the same thing--killfile Alias and all the
other trolls, so you won't even be tempted to respond to them.

The bes tthing for RAR files is WinRAR.
RAR is taking over ZIP, it's more efficient and all professional soft
distributors are now supplying me with RAR's insetad o ZIP.
It lets you break larger e.g. 25GB RAR into smaller parts, download and
assemble simply by running the LAST RAR piece you got.

Use WinRAR, it's free for 40 days, you have to pay only a small fee to avoid
ads/nagging warning after 40 days, you can still use after 40 days but you
got to be mean & stingy person to not pay its creator a small fee so he
continues good work and Shareware concept won't die.

You belong to Ubuntu Support forums, if you're here it blatantly states your
FEAR & INTEREST in Windows..

If Udoomboo were a real OS you'd spend your life on using it, and not
turning into a poster/ad/commercial boy sitting all day on computer nagging
and singing about retarded hobbysist OS.

Nobody wants to use that piece of SHIT Ubuntu. Ubuntu was written by
geeks for geeks who can't get laid.

You have that wrong. You are the NOBODY who is lost. You are posting
about Ubuntu in the Vista forum. Didn't anyone tell you the right way
to go? Obviously not.

Ubuntu is still SHIT and will always be SHIT. Ubuntu doesn't run the
popular software programs out there so Ubuntu is worth what you pay for
it: NOTHING.
