    It does not work!!! I downloaded UnRare but when I run the application it gives me a choice: “Extract to:” when I make a choice here, nothing happens. The window is empty.

    I’m attempting to download Internet Explorer onto my iMac. What am I doing wrong?

    The good old freebie “Stuffit Expander” will do it.
