Oh man, that is weird. Let me get this straight:
-Everything in your new computer is new.
-Fresh install of new operating system (xp)
-No ghost image backup restored on new drive.
Ona pentium II WinRAR should do everything lightning fast. On a Pentium IV it should do it yesterday.
Something you're installing must be corrupt. Are you downloading a fresh copy of WinRAR or is it a copy you had on your old system that you backed up? Perhaps you have a bad copy of office or your o/s that you got off Kazaa or something and it's having a direct impact on WINRAR. It can't be anything else. Maybe you got a virus on something you installed in this new system. Perhaps you cleaned the virus, but the file is now corrupt enough to be virus free and installable but is unstable in its extracted installed form.
Maybe your RAM is bad. Bad RAM can screw anything up in small strange ways.
Good luck.
