    Sounds like the progs actually crashing, uninstall winrar and then do a reinstall.

    Other than that it may actually be acorrupt file, to check burn a data version of the files and check it on another pc with winrar again if any of the .rar files are corrupt this may cause it, did you get any par files with your .rar files?

    also be very careful that the files you are trying to extract are not a virus file! that could be your reason for the freezing! Make sure your antivirus program is running and uptodate!!
