Vista won't let me extract driver--Potentially Dangerous
I'm trying to unzip the Realtek AC'97 audio driver for Vista (downloaded
directly from their site) but I keep getting a message that the executables
in it are potentially dangerous--thus canceling my extraction. Is there
anyway to get around this?

Thanks,

Figured it out: You've got to lower your security settings in IE7.

Right click on the downloaded file. select Properties, on the General tab, press
the Unblock button, Apply, and OK.
