If you have PowerArchiver and tried to open a RAR file in it, chances are that you might have came across a CRC error with every file you extract (There is CRC error on file: {dir}\{file}).
Where {dir} is, that is the directory that you are extracting to. Where {file} is, that is the file name that is being extracted.
This is most likely NOT to be caused by your .rar file. So what is most likely the cause? An outdated UNRAR.DLL file in the installation folder of PowerArchiver (C:\Program Files\PowerArchiver). Before you think about downloading WinRAR (http://ww.rarlabs.com/) (similar to WinZip (http://www.winzip.com) and PowerArchiver (http://www.powerarchiver.com/), which work with zip files), go to the WinRAR (http://www.rarlab.com/) website. Under the section "RAR (http://www.rarlab.com/rar_archiver.htm)", click on Extras (http://www.rarlab.com/rar_add.htm). There you will find "UnRAR.DLL (http://www.rarlab.com/rar/UnRARDLL.exe)". Before you continue, make sure you exit PowerArchiver. Download and run the program, select the install folder (you should use the PowerArchiver folder) and click next. Now re-open your .rar file in PowerArchiver and try to extract your files again, it should work.
