Has anyone found the same problem found when using Winzip v9 on a Windows 2000 Pro PC? Please see the steps taken below:

- right-click on a file (in my test, file was 642KB)
- select "Add to Zip file..."
- click on the "New..." button
- select to save in "Floppy (A:)"
- save the file name
- then click on the "OK" button
After this Winzip hangs up and cannot be stopped, must reboot PC.

I have changed the following:
- click on "Options / Configuration..."
- select folders tab
- ensured that the check mark is on "User for removable media only"
This has not fixed the problem.

Anyone have any other suggestions?

does it work if you zip it to your computer then move it to the floppy?

Yes, creating the file, then copying it (via Windows Explorer) works. However, this customer finds this solution unsatisfactory, as this was not required in Winzip v8.

Unfortunately, I am dealing with an older customer that has been "always doing it this way" and is very adverse to change.

Any other suggestions???

well...that question was more directed to testing the floppy drive....any problems with going back to the older version?

Unfortunately, we cannot back rev the software, as it was rolled out corporation wide.

Thanks...
