You should be able to click on the rar file and it pops a window up select extract from the top left end of window, then select a spot you want the file to un-rar to. easy.

Well, you double click the rar file (part 1 if there are 2 parts), winrar will open. Now you just click "extract" on the top left corner, you choose where to unrar the file and it's done...

Heh, I can't help you with your problem, it worked fine for me. But why do you have a folder named you're kinda ugly man?

I do it by selecting both files, right clicking, choose extract files and then hit OK.

LOL, here is the problem: you can't unrar if you don't have both parts

He has both parts, just hi lite the yellow folder and extract it that way, .rar needs both files to be in same folder to start with and then it should work. If it still screws up try repairing the file, the repair tool is in one of the drop down menus in the Rar tool bar.
