Yes I agree ... but each machine processor has so many different internal environmental factors that impact data as it gets placed on the HD that anomalies sometime do appear after the fact. Should not happen but I've seen it happen a small number of times over the past 25 years where it actually has happened.

[EDIT] Just remembered one other factor: On the Laptop I uninstalled WinZip 10 ,,, reinstalled WinZip 9 --- that did not make a difference ,,, then I re-downloaded WinZIP 10 and reinstalled it then proceeded with the final installation of Proxo etc and that worked. This weekend I will uninstall WinZip 10 on my other 2 computers and get the WinZip download again and see what happens on those device when I start fresh.

Yes.

Nope other than the fact I was doing multiple folder deletions and re-installations of Proxo within a span of 8 hours in the same day as I was attempting to rule out zip/unzip issues.

Anyway, for now everything is back to normal with the Proxomitron on my systems. One of these days perhaps I will learn what actually is taking place. This odd behavior needs to be understood and the process to understand it is very time consuming ? so I hope that by chance I will learn why it took place.

[EDIT]I Just found out that WinZip 10 was actually updated on February 23 2006 to Build 6698 to fix some bugs [previous version was Build 6685... and since its the latest version that I used on the Proxo ZIP the other day that now works on my Laptop system it may have been a WinZip issue after all in my situation. When I do the fresh installs this weekend on my other desktop systems that should be more evidence of this based on how I will proceed with the process. I now seem to recall that all my troubles with Proxo stated in early February -- and I purchased WinZip 10 on January 23. This is starting to make some sense.
