compressed files not recognized by Windows 7

I just some of the files compressed into one right click on files by selecting send to... Compressed (zipped) folder. He was a "Compression". "info displays and it seemed that the files were being compressed. However, once the compression has been completed, the displayed icon looks more like a page of paper (not the folder with the zipper) and when I try to open the file, I get a system request to find a program to open this file. Why does my system feel. ZIP files unrecognizable and, more important still, how to solve the problem? I am running Windows 7 Ultimate SP1 and there is no other utility compression installed on this machine.

Thank you

John

Try...

  1. Open the Menu 'start '.
  2. Click on "all programs".
  3. Expand "Accessories".
  4. Right-click "Command Prompt", select "Run as Administrator"
    [If Windows 7 - you will be asked if you are sure that you want to open the administrator command prompt, select Yes.]
  5. From there type:
    cmd /c assoc .zip = CompressedFolder
  6. Press ENTER.
  7. Close the command prompt.
  8. Restart the computer.

  • .zip files not recognized in Windows 7

    When I had problems with Windows 10, I've restored Windows 7 on my HP laptop.  . Zip files are more recognized on my laptop.  Before the upgrade to Windows 10, I had the opportunity to unzip and zip files.    The extension of the .zip files is no more listed in the types of files accessible from the control panel.

    I tried to download WinZip, and it would allow me to compress, but not unzip files.

    Can anyone offer suggestions how to solve this problem?

    Not sure, but take a look on this page - http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/19449-default-file-type-associations-restore.html and see the association of ZIP file, that peut help if all goes well.

  • Import FLV - Compression file not recognized error!

    Hello

    I get an error message "Unrecognized Compression" when you try to import an FLV file in first Pro CS5.5.

    Should I just download a free Converter and convert to mp4 or wmv, or are there other options to import into CS5.5? If anyone can recommend a free Converter, I would be grateful.

    THX

    Oops... it's weird. Try this: http://www.mediafire.com/?jhi6zw2lgcrq67x

    Yes, don't just download anything that says "flv2mp4." This link is a solution custom - is FFmpeg (a multimedia converter well known and well considered totally safe command line) and an itty-bitty batch file that tells FFmpeg to the FLV content in a MP4 container.

    I hope the link works this time...!

  • Yoga Pro 2 - display not recognized in windows (hardware or driver problem?)

    Out of warranty by a month!

    Yoga Pro 2-256 gb, installed a new wireless card a month ago. Windows 8.1

    The touchscreen still work while the screen is black.

    System restarted after the mode 'sleep', in my opinion.

    The Lenovo logo is displayed, seems to load Windows, but when windows loads (I don't see it so it is a hypothesis of load) drafts of the screen and the black light is on.

    Can I connect an external monintor that connects after the return from sleep mode (odd). Who then off the backlight.

    When the external monitor, the internal screen is not yet recognized by windows.

    When I boot in safe mode, the internal display works fine with of course limited capabilities.

    I rebooted on the support site display drivers.

    Right now my internal monitor is not recognized by windows and is dark, and I can use an external monitor.

    Someone at - he of the clues as to what my happen? Hardware, driver etc?

    Can what information I provide?

    It is a pretty weird problem with contradictory observations.

    (1) screen working in Mode safe but not regular boot. (So not the hardware problem)

    (2) display on an external monitor in normal mode. (So, no drivers issue)

    Have you installed the wireless card yourself? You unplug the cable from the screen during the installation of the card?

    Could you re - open and check that all connections are good?

    The Wi - Fi card works well?

    I also recommend a complete reset of the laptop to eliminate the possibility that it is a corrupt driver. You can use the NOVO button to reset your laptop. Make sure you make a backup on an external drive for your personal files.

  • CD/DVD drive is not recognized by Windows or other programs. HP Pavilion s7310n Slimline PC

    He used to work. It comes from when the computer was around the age of 4 months. should have put in, but could not take the days off to bring it back to BEST BUY - 2 years ago.

    Then... the CD/DVD drive is not recognized by Windows or other programs. If I insert a CD as Photo Suite III or any what CD/DVD, the green light comes on but no rotation and not even a warning to error.

    Now what? How can I find out / know the specs of what to look for a replacement/new one... I lost the book in my move to Florida. I have tried all sorts of key word in GOOGLE and I am half blind and tired to be re-directed to sites that have nothing to do with my question.

    Can someone help me please? Thank you. TJ Rev.

    PS... None of the links in the Solution of Sissy2 DIFFICULTY to where they are supposed to. I don't think it's my problem anyway.

     Download XP_CD-DVD - Fix.zip and save this file on your hard drive. Navigate to where you saved it, and double-click the file to extract the content. Find the EXE file that you extracted and double click it.  A confirmation dialog box appears when the script is done.  You may need to reboot for the change to take effect.

    Works on XP and Vista. Good luck!

  • Stor.e slim not recognized by Windows 8.1

    Hello

    A Stor.e slim external HARD drive is not recognized in Windows 8.1 (no problem with Windows 7). When it is plugged in, it s shown as a device not recognized. Driver is requested but not found.

    Hello

    Stor.E Slim external HARD drive is a 2.5 HDD USB 3.0 and 900mA power it requires to work correctly.

    I suppose that there is nothing wrong with this HARD drive, but with your laptop.

    8/8.1 win requires different drivers and you will probably need to install a suitable driver in order to get the USB ports work correctly (USB 3.0 as well as the driver additional chipset would be also necessary).

  • Optical drive is not recognized in Windows 8.1 (x 64) or in the UEFI System Diagnostics.

    Description of the problem:

    Optical drive is not recognized in Windows 8.1 (x 64) or in the UEFI System Diagnostics.

    Steps to recreate:

    UEFI:

    1. Start the PC in diagnosis system UEFI (F2 at the STATION)
    2. Pane controls
    3. Optical drive
    4. Sequential control
    5. Error: Optical drive not installed.

    8.1 Windows (x 64):

    1. Run Device Manager
    2. Error: No CD/DVD Drives section.
    3. Search for new hardware changes nothing.

    Relevant system specs:

    Mobile: HP Pavilion 15-n023sa (construction of vanilla)

    Optical drive: HP DVDRAM gu70n

    Steps already taken to solve:

    • Replaced the DVD drive with one of the similar specs of HP Pavilion. The replaced gn70n perfectly in the other machine. No change on problem laptop. Conclusion: DVD player works, and there is no problems with Windows 8.1 (x 64).
    • Removed DVD player. Restarted the computer. Sign in to Windows. Stop. Replace the DVD drive. Start the laptop. This is trying to solve defects of material with the PnP devices; more help to solve any problems of intermittent loose connection. Conclusion: No change.
    • Ran, troubleshooting of hardware and devices, via the control panel. Problem found: material changes may not have been detected. Explore more options just takes you through http://social.answers.microsoft.com/search/en-us/?query=hardware+device, that it is a 404 error page. Conclusion: Help and Support Windows is sorely lacking. They show no more information than just that something was detected as incorrect.
    • Ran the Microsoft FixIt troubleshooting of optical disc and auto repairman. (http://download.microsoft.com/download/F/5/8/F586FB7C-78E0-40EB-AF41-4C925F803CAF/CDDVDWin8.meta.dia... The convenience store has reported that the device was not found. He recommended to remove all power cables, power off, and various other things which have no relevance for computer laptop troubleshooting of switching equipment. He said: If the problem persists, contact the manufacturer. Conclusion: Windows troubleshooting can not solve the problem.
    • Run Windows Update to ensure that all updates and definitions have been installed. Conclusion: Windows is perfectly up to date.
    • Run a complete Rootkit and malware using Sbybot S & D 2.3 heuristic analysis. as a signature database scan using Windows Defender. Conclusion: Laptop is clean of rootkits and malware, to the best of my knowledge.

    Notes:

    The DVD player is NOT appear in Device Manager, OR in this PC.

    The DVD drive is NOT detected by diagnostics system UEFI.

    There is reference to the DVD in BIOS drive NUMBER , other than as an option of Setup, which is generic.

    The DVD player itself, works and has been verified on a different machine.

    The only possible conclusion is that the optical drive port mini-SATA on the motherboard is dead.
