Not sure if anyone can help here as the backup software I used says cant
recover a compressed (zipped) folder on an external drive.

I used Pico backup to create a OE6 backup file but the software will not
recover it. Had no joy from thier support people at all.

Windows XP gives me a message when try to extract the files saying has
blocked access to these files to help protect your computer. I have followed
the guidance on the link Why were these files blocked but does not seem to
work.

Not sure if this is right place for this question.
