Ihave a file or rather a movie if it helps and the instructions are to 1. rename it to movie.zip2.to unzip but nothing happens when i rename it am i doing it wrong? what should i do im kind of computer stupid:P

Answer 1

"1. rename it to movie.zip2.to unzip" What does the "one dot" mean? What does the "movie dot zip2 dot to" mean. Assuming your file name is "movie.xyz" you need to simply change the name to "movie.zip" and then use winzip to unarchive the contents. If you made the extension "zip2" as you have it written, then winzip will not recognize it automatically, but if you use the menus, FILE/OPEN and then use the dialog window to select the file, then even with the wrong extension, winzip WILL open the file properly. As another said, winrar will handle a zip archive just as well as winzip does. I leave it for an exercise for the student to locate and download either winzip or winrar. Personally, I prefer to use winrar for my archive files.

Answer 2

after you rename it by right clicking> rename you should double click it and run it using winzip or winrar
