can not extract the zip files
I am trying to extract a zip file I downloaded, but the option extract is no longer there. I did so many times in the past with no problems. The icon is also different, where it helps to have a folder with a zipper, it is now a white square with a picture of a computer inside. I tried everything... someone please help!

Can you work with other ZIP files? If Yes, then this file is not a real ZIP file or it is damaged.

I can't extract the zipped files, all I get is empty folders
Hello
I use Windows 7. I have not downloaded another file compression/extraction software, I use the built-in software. If I try and open the zipped files by choosing the option "extract files" I wonder where I would like to save the extracted files. I said where I want them to go, everything seems to be fine, I told me that the files are checked and and a new folder is created. When I opened this case, however, I like that it is empty.Is - this from there anyway I can access the decompression software to see if something is wrong or there at - it an option to re - install?I am reluctant to introduce the third-party software zip that I use my laptop for my PhD thesis and I don't want to put in place something that will cause problems and send three years of work down the drain.Thank youHello
I suggest you to do the same steps that Marilyn has suggested, just with the files themselves. In addition, instead of click to open files from Windows Explorer, choose any program is indicated for each file. For example, choose Microsoft Word .doc file. Etc.

Photo Gallery will not open the zip file
Hi all
Someone sent me an email with 5 photos inside zip file. I downloaded the attachment and open the file with photo gallery. I watched all 5 images successfully. When I tried to turn one of the pictures I noticed the button to rotate the image was gray. I also noticed that the Photo Gallery menu everything is gray. I closed the library and tried the process again. Now all I get is the error response "Photo Gallery can't open this photo or video. The file format is not supported, or you do not have the latest updates. "I tried to download it from the email once again, but just keep getting the same error response. I can't open the zip file AT ALL and have no idea what to do. I also tried Picasa to open the file, but here, the answer is "invalid image". I'm sorry to say that I'm a novice on the actual technical stuff so go easy on me please :) Thanks in advance for any help.
Yes, I double click on the file and looked at the pictures. Now, if I double click on I just get the error message.
=====================================
Double click on a zip file it will open but do not unzip.Two things to try:
(1) slide the photos out of the file compressed in a new folder.
(2) make a right-click the folder zipped and in the menu... Choose... Extract all.

Can not find the downloaded file
I regularly download files, and they will 'always' in the same directory. Now, I downloaded fedora-live-workstation-i686-22-3.iso
of https://getfedora.org/en/workstation/download/and (a) I didn't get the usual "save/open" Download dialog and (b) I can not find the downloaded file. The < downloads - tools > FF screen displays the file as downloaded, but not (AFAICT) where he was placed.Any clarification would be appreciated. Thank you.
(OP) Well, I downloaded the same file again and this time everything went as it should. For example, some of my 'facts' above must be wrong, but I don't know who. I suspect some personal deficiencies.

Hi korgmeister,
1 when was the last time it was working fine?
2. do you have security software installed on the computer?
3. are you able to access all Web sites?
First of all, I suggest that you try to download the file with Windows internet explore.
If you are able to download using Windows internet explore, then there may be a problem with the Firefox browser.
Uninstall and reinstall Firefox browser and check.
If you are facing a similar issue when you use Internet explore, then it may be Internet problem try to download some other file or document check if it works.
Also contact your internet service provider to check if the connection side there is fine.
Go back with the results!
I hope this helps!

I bought a new carmera and Photoshop CS4 camera Raw can not read the ARW files. I downloaded the lateset update but still can not read how can I get this problem solved thanks
Hi tonyf,.
Greetings!
Each device is compatible with a minimum version of camera raw.
Here is the complete list: https://helpx.adobe.com/camera-raw/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html
Please check if you have this version of the camera installed which include your raw files.
It would also be that your photoshop will not have to install this version of camera raw as its very old.
In this case, you can convert your raw files to DNG and can use it.
To convert the files to DNG, you must download and install the DNG Converter.
Here is the link:

Could not open the zipped file
Original title: I can't open my file are compressed, I think they are embroidery designs?
I put the drawings in my doc file, I see what looks like a file but cannot open the same try to put in the folder and open. I don't know what is a compressed file, but I saw that while I'm going to lower the load, don't know if I did something a way to use it or not.
Hello
You have any software to open Zip files?
To inform you, a zip file contains one or more of the files that have been compressed to reduce the size of the file, or stored as is. The zip file format allows a number of compression algorithms. Zip files generally use file extensions ".zip" or ".". ZIP ".
You will need third-party software to open ZIP files in Windows XP. Use your favorite search engine to download third party software.
Note: Using third-party software, including hardware drivers can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the use of third-party software can be solved. Software using third party is at your own risk.
