Win Zip Error

When attempting to unzip a Power Point presentation Win Zip produces the following error:

"Error "Location Path": missing 3 bytes in Zip File - attempting to process anyway"

Windows XP Professional SP3
Win Zip  8.1 this is what we're licensed for
Microsoft Office Professional 2003

Steps taken so far:

Tried uninstalling and reinstalling WinZip
Tried repairing Office
I can open this on my computer without an issue

A very tiny application: 7-zip (free and fast) at < http://www.7-zip.org/ >.

Does 7-zip also give error?

(Opinion only: Recommend using 7-zip rather than WinZip.)

I'm attempting to open with 7 Zip and it's saying that an attempt was made to move the file pointer before the beginning of the file.

Any other ideas about the WinZip issue?
