Thanks geno888 But i t wasn't the nero install that did it , it was the imgburn install that did it. because it did ti before the nero install, it did it when i tried to open the nero clean tool zip to uninstall nero 7. Anyway i just wanted people to know in case they have the same problem, just remove imgburn. I don't use a spiecial program for my zip files , i use the one built in to xp, works for me
