[Elecraft] unable to extract files to update K3 using Win 7 - problem solved!!!

[Dick Williams]

I want to thank the individuals that responded to my Win 7 problem of
"unable to download files and unzip files.  Since my Win 7 is new, I even
called Microsoft and was on the phone for about three hours with one of
their support personnel; the bottom line was he was not able to help other
than letting me know that something was "corrupt" in the computer.  The
computer was in such bad shape that I could not even download or even get
their Easy Assist to download.

I finally was able to fix the problem myself with a very simple and
extremely effective cure (three step process):

(1) format the hard drive

(2) load Win 7 back on the computer

(3) re-install programs and associated files

Everything is working like it should now.

Over the years I have found the above three steps to have cured the most
obstinate and perplexing problems that I have ever encountered with all of
the versions of Microsoft operating systems.  I highly recommend it, and the
above three step procedure will certainly decrease your anxiety levels.
