    the shoudl all have numbers after them, just extract the one labeled with 1, and that will automatically extract them into one file.

    Install WinRar. Once it is installed right click on the Rar and it should give the option to extract here or extract all or extract to <file name>. Chhose one of those options and it should unzip it for you.

    If you see the .rar file then you can do what i suggested. You dont have to have a folder in order to do this. You can extract it to a foler with the one option but it doesnt have to be there.

    Winrar Free Trial

    Download and install that. Then do as i suggested.

    ok so what you are saying is that they .rar files are part of a set I beleive. DL them ALL seet them in the same directory and take the first .rar file and extract it and the rest should follow easily.
