Greetings techies. I've got a little problem thats been causing loads of frustration. WinZip and 7-Zip seems to freeze my computer every time I try to extract big files. I've done a little research on it already, and appearantly its a common problem in vista. For some reason, vista's default compressor seems to conflict with 3rd party compressors, and causes it to crash Explorer. There was a solution for it, but unfortunately it was no help to me. The solution involved deleting the Reg Keys for vista's default zipper, thus uninstalling it (or running vistaunzip), but I have vista x64, and I think the Reg Keys are different. The keys that were listed for deletion don't show up on my regedit, and the vistaunzip executable does nothing for me. I also tried using ShellExView to disable its explorer shell extensions, but that didn't work either. I really need a solution to this problem, because vista's default compressor isn't going to work for what I need it for. If someone can list the Reg Keys for vista x64's version of the zipper so I can delete them, or give me an alternate solution, I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks in advanced.

Also, on ShellExView, I seem to be missing a shell extension that was shown in the tutorial I found online. Like I mentioned, it may be because x32 and x64's compressors are different, but I'm not sure. Hope this screenshot helps.
