    Hi,

    I am having problems using Winrar in Vista Ultimate. I have created an archive with a word document in it and everytime I type something new and wanted to update that word file, winrar always display the error message saying that the file cannot be created and access is denied. Can anyone suggest a solution to this problem aside from unzipping the file, update it then create a new archive ? Thanks

    Yea, you usually cannot change a file that is archived in WinRar since saving through Words or such doesn't rearchive it or anything like that.

    If you don't want to use a program like Winrar Unlock, you'd have to extract the said file, edit it and save it, and then finally rearchive it.
