argh winrar problem!!!

ok, so i downloaded err something off the internet...

it was in multiple rar's or what they are called, about 50 files each sized 14,690 kbps... when i run quicksfv it says they all clear out perfectly, but when i try to open the .rar file it says "Cannot open e:\please organize\-+ Movies\xxxxx\xxxx.rar" which is strange cus last time i checked it said something like "no archives" or "cant find arhives" or whatever.. lol

any possibility to fix it?

Maybe you're using an old version of WinRAR.

Clear up your directory pathname.

-> move the RAR-files to a simple directory such as D:\compressed or something like that - the "+-" in your pathname may confuse WinRAR since these characters used to be reserved for special purposes in former Windows/DOS versions and not to be used in general file- oder directory names.

Additionally, of course, be sure to use the latest WinRAR/unRAR version as suggested above.

Hope to help.
