Hi Joseph,

Thanks for sharing your problem with us, there could be multiple file with the same name. Please check for the files that you are having for the duplicate name. You can reinstall the winzip and try again if it still not work then I suggest you anther program winzip 7 which is same as winzip, and it is free.

Link for Winzip7 download.

You have two files one archive and another that is not archived with the same name and you are trying to zip them within a zip file. Check file name was dropped and remove it from the list and you will be able to zip other files. Also make sure that your computer contains no virus.
