Compressed RAR files

Here is my problem. My laptop died and I purchased a new one. I have a flash drive with compressed RAR files that contain photos in various files. On my old laptop which was Windows 7 as is my new one, I could open the files and the pics by using 7zip. Now with the new computer I can open the file with 7zip but not the pics in the file. This error comes up" C:\user\owner\appdata\local\temp\7zo1b15\172.jpg'as archive". When I try to open the pic. Followed the trail of the error and found in my C drive the pics but can not open them from there either. Never happened on my old computer. Tried all I know to fix this issue. Anybody know how to fix this issue?

Can you right click the file you are trying to open and choose 7Zip and then "open archive" and does that open it.
It might be because it is archived and the folder it is in is too small to accommodate it open so again you can right click and choose send to desktop on the file and see if that will open then and if yes then
you have the answer. I would not be zipping and archiving pictures actually because often this kind of thing can happen when you do that.
