How to get Hamster to be finishing the process of downloaing zips again?

Using Hamster Free Zip Archiver, when I click on Extract, it brings up Browse For Folder, which shows Temp highlighted. I click OK, at which point Hamster goes into unresponsiveness and never finishes the job. This used to work for me. I don't understand why it's going wrong now.

Should I abandon Hamster for another zip program that you would suggest?

 

I do not know Hamster. I have used WinZip for decades, but now I exclusively use the free 7-Zip without any problems.

 

I've used pkzip, winzip, peazip but 7-zip is my current choice.

Others look better, but 7-zip always works with no problems or surprises.
The right click options make it a breeze.

How to Get the Best Use from the 7-Zip File Archiver Program

 

I'm another supporter of 7-zip. It's a great open source program, and they have a 64 bit version as well.

 

Much thanks to all of you.

I am using Windows XP Home Edition Version 2002 Service Pack 3.

I tried the clicking on New Folder. It didn't work right away so I clicked a couple of times. Then I saw two New Folders in the Browse For Folder window. I clicked it out and started all over again--**dumb**--http://forums.majorgeeks.com/images/smilies/frown.gifand I didn't see a New Folder subsequently on several attempts. I did see Apps highlighted at least once. I decided to quit downloading off my Pale Moon Downloads page and go back to the NirSoft website all over again. That time the Browse for Folder window brought up Downloads, so I said OK, I'll try that. And I was able to get it to work, to get WebBrowserPassView out of downloads and onto my Desktop.

I did make sure to update Hamster (on Pale Moon) during all this, before I posted here, but I ended up with 1.2.0.4 according to my Windows directory. On the other hand, Tech Tracker says I have 2.0.0.25. Your link is 2.0.1.3. Tech Tracker tells me I'm out of date, yet 2.0.0.25 is what CNET has as the latest. Confusing!

Revo Uninstaller told me I had both at the same location. So I uninstalled using Revo. What is it about Hamster that you need to uninstall before updating?

I have now downloaded the latest Hamster through Major Geeks.

I saw in Hamster's license it is based on 7-zip. If I have any more trouble with Hamster I will quickly resort to 7-zip.

I really love Major Geeks and have concluded that CNET is really only good for reading and writing reviews. It's miserable using it for downloads. I will indeed be supporting Major Geeks on Facebook very soon.

I have seen something about a Major Geeks update manager. Could you give me the link to that?
