    when i right click on the .rar file and 'Extract Here' it throws an error saying 'No Archives Found'.

    I have tried 'Force Re-Check', double clicking on the file, 'right click' 'extract to ...', nothing seems to work all with the same error message 'No Archives Found'.

    If someone is able to point me in the right direction with this it would be most helpful cause there 6.5 GB I'd like to be able to utilize.

    What program are you using to unrar the rar files, Winrar? Try using 7 zip, it is quite fast and works great.

    * Packing / unpacking: 7z, ZIP, GZIP, BZIP2 and TAR
    * Unpacking only: RAR, CAB, ISO, ARJ, LZH, CHM, MSI, WIM, Z, CPIO, RPM, DEB and NSIS

    Possibly the rar file is a fake or has been corrupted. Did you make it yourself or did you download it? Some p2p game & movie downloads are actually fake files shared by people working for the copyright owners to discourage piracy.

    Indochine, you are probably correct. I have also been through this problem, and the rar file was corrupted.
