In release 4.0
- Install procedure compatible with Windows 7 - Fix occasional crash when syncing folders with very long file names
In release 3.5:
- Addresses Daylight Savings Time bug in Windows when doing file sync . . . Windows reports DST adjusted times differently on FAT32 and NTFS file systems. If you sync files between differening file systems (or Windows' versions) then your files will appear out of date every time there is a change to or from Daylight Savings Time. This problem is handled by a workaround in version 3.5 that compensates for Windows' inconsistent time reporting.

Frequently Asked Questions /
Tech Support
Here are actual un-edited user questions of general
interest:
(1) WHERE TO ENTER CODE: I am not sure where I enter code?? I keep getting the page that asks for my credit card info and I already paid??
From menus select help, then select about/register and enter code in space as shown in figure at left.
(2) REMOVE RIGHT-CLICK MENUS: Is there any way to remove the Zip-N-Go options from the right click menus if that option was mistakenly selected upon installation? I tried to uninstall the software and that didn't work.
Earlier versions than 2.85 had a bug in the uninstall. Download new version above & run configure menus option.(3) ASKING FOR CODE AGAIN: I reloaded my disk after a system crash, and now Zip-n-Go is asking for the code again. I have reports due tomorrow that I need to unzip right away. Please help!
Note: on Win/ME and later, Microsoft seems to have fixed the problem with the Office shortcut bar.
The registration information is stored on your hard drive, and might be destroyed in certain types of crashes, or if you migrate to a new computer. When you first register Zip-n-Go it will offer to make a backup disk from which you can reload without a code. You should do this to avoid the above problem. It gives you permanent access.(4) PLAYING SPLIT FILES: I split a video file & only the first part will play.If you didn't make the backup disk, you will have 30 days in which to write me for a new code. While your registration never expires once entered, there are time limitations on entry to prevent code theft. If somehow the 30 days goes by unnoticed, versions 2.84 and later have emergency unzip built-in that never expires. You also get a new 30 day period by downloading a later version than the one you have. Or you can use the unzip-only tool above.
Zip-n-Go splits files only for the purpose of storing them on separate disks. The files must be re-assembled to be launched or played or opened with an application. Try using Virtual Dub to split video files into playable parts.OTHER QUESTIONS: There are frankly not many questions on this software. It has evolved over many years to make most things obvious to the user. Every time I get a question I try to improve the program. If your question is not listed above, and you checked in the help file & it's not there, then write me. If you have questions about your payment, write the agent through which you paid. Write me only if you paid directly to MediaComm (mc1soft.com). If you are looking for the old 16 bit Windows 3.1 version, click here.

try software before you buy it. Resist the "buy-now" buttons that
