So first thing to do is to *extract* the *whole* content of the archive with 7zip into a directory, you should not try to just open the files inside the archive w/o extracting them.
I assume that you didn't extract the *.7z content correctly. Please also see this thread about 209 error (and use forum search please, to find many similar problems): http://hashcat.net/forum/thread-1546-pos...ml#pid9492
You need to be able to manage the windows command line interpreter: cmd.
Otherwise try the gui version (https://hashcat.net/hashcat-gui/ , btw: hashcat.net cannot give support for that, but the GUI authors may be able to help you) ... but learning to use cmd isn't hard at all...
PS: it would be great if you would give your forum threads a meaningful name (w/ main problem right in the thread's topic, s.t. one can find it easier) and if one problem was solved (the -a 3 not available problem) that you accept this as solved and find solution for other problems in forum search.... if you really find *no* thread that matches, you should create a new thread for the 2nd problem.
