        You have experienced the limitations of older Mircrosoft (Dos based) OS's where the file size cannot exceed 2 gb. You will need to switch to Windows XP if you wish to extract this file.

          there is NO 2gb restriction in win98 for example.

          no need to update to xp

            IIRC it is a limitarion of the FAT32 system.

                If you follow this link, it states that the limitation for the Fat system is 2 gb.


                You will need the FAT32 (which Setarip and Uncas correctly indicated is 4 gb) or NTFS.
