Hi Martin,

Error code 5 shows that you don't have the enough write to save the file in the folder indicated. If you encountered this problem follow the following steps:

1. Click on the start button.

2. In the search box type C:ProgramData

3. Press enter and delete the folder winzip.

4. Reinstall the winzip and register properly.

I hope this will solve your problem.

Thanks

Winzip is most useable program for file compression. In the given case i think there is a virus attack on the system you are running or the files you are trying to zip are virus infected. There may be a save error in your system to solve it run a full virus scan and then reinstall the program to enjoy using the software.
