hi, i dowloaded a .rar file and once extracted it is more than 4GB, it does most of the extration process but then gives me an error (i dont rember the exact error message but) something about the file is larger than 4GB. later i tried to rip a dvd and it gave me a message in the beggining that one of the files is larger than 4GB. i have a 20GB HDD(with enough space), windows XP(upgraded from windows ME), 768MHz CPU, and 126.48MB RAM.(its old and slow, i know) anyways does anybody else know why it does this or how to get around it/fix it...please

spit the file then you can have like 2gb files and put them back together later

edit when i dl it rar format its less than 4GB, when its extracted its more
