    Hello,

    while decompressing the file
    http://www.merten.de/download/DL_sw_tools/InfoDisplay.zip
    I get the error message, that this file can't be opened as archive.

    At an other PC without 7-ZIP, decompressing is no problem. I tried 7-Zip 4.65 and 9.07.

    Best regards

    Maybe it is a naive suggestion, but had you tried downloading it again, just in case it got corrupted during download on the first machine?

    Hello dsid,

    this is not the reason.

    - At work, I downloaded the file twice at different days. Allways the same.
    - I downloaded the file at home. Result: the same.
    - I tried to decompress the file with two computers. PC with 7-Zip: error mesage. PC without 7-Zip: success
    - I can reproduce the problem with the file from pavel13.

    Best regards

    Addition:
    I downloaded the file from pavel13. I can open it with WinRAR. So, the file is not corrupt.

    Best regards

    I can open my file with WinRAR and IZARC, but with 7-ZIP and PeaZIP it is impossible.
