Do not open the compressed files

Hello

When I compress several files in a zip file and then try to open it, I get the following message:

(Name) file cannot be opened because there are problems with the content.

Then I click OK and get the following message:

Word found unreadable content in (name).  You want to recover the contents of this document?  If you trust the source of this document, click Yes.

Then, I click Yes and get the following message:

(Name) file cannot be opened because there are problems with the content.

I click on details and get the following message:

Microsoft Office cannot open this file because some parts are missing or invalid.

I was previously able to open the files zipped without any problem.

Any help with this issue is appreciated.

Thank you

Candace

You try to open the file generated with Word.  You must first extract the compressed file, and then open the file with Word.

Method 1

Double-click on the zip file.  This will display the contents of the zip file, which are probably more.doc files or Word *.docx files.

Double click on whatever you want to work on files of words.

Method 1 has

Instead of double-clicking on one of the compressed files, drag ' not drop it on your desktop.  It is indeed 'an excerpt' rather than 'extract all' method 2.

Method 2

Right-click on the zip file and select "Extract all."  This will create a new folder (with the same name as the zip file).  All the files you have been compressed in the zip file will be in this new folder.  These are copies of compressed files (zipped).

Double-click on according to files in the new folder that you want to use.

The problem with all of these methods when you want to save your work.

For method 1, you must use "save under" (rather than by clicking "Save" or by using the file > save) and don't forget to change the location (folder) where you save the document from the temporary directory that will be the default value to a more appropriate location, such as your desktop.

For method 1, you can use the regular 'save' function.  The file will be saved whenever you dragged (for example, your desktop computer).

For method 2, you can use the regular 'Save' function, but be aware that the file will be saved in the new folder created when you extracted all the files.

In all of the above methods, the version of the file in your original zip file will not be changed.  Assuming that this is not the desired result, after you save the modified file, drag ' not drop it on the zip file.  You will get an offer from the window to "Copy and replace" or "Do not copy."  Choose "copy and replace".  Your modified file will be compressed and placed in the zip file at the original compressed file.

You can then delete the file updated the registered (method 1 or 1 a) or the entire new folder with all the files extracted (method 2).

  • Do not open the JPEG files recovered...

    I have quick formatted my E drive. Then I restored data with software. But do not open the JPEG files recovered.

    The size of the file is the same. But when I try to open the error "invalid image". I tried almost all viewers but the problem is the same.

    How can I open these JPEG files...?

    Help, please...

    Thank you

    You can try the JPEG recovery tool, it might be useful. This is normally due to the change in the location of the file once you retrieve the data.

  • By double clicking on a file in Windows Explorer it only starts the program it does not open the actual file.

    By double clicking on a file in Windows Explorer it only starts the program it does not open the actual file.  1 program, all the others still work ok.

    This option is used to work, I installed a viewer of this program option (it's a based CAD program) and after that I uninstalled the viewer that he would not even start the program, he was trying to launch the viewr.  I noticed that the file association was still for the Viewer so I changed it back, but he now throws only program.  Under right click, properties, file Type: it is said the extension only where it used to say the name of the program.

    Have a panasonic DMC-GX85.  My 9 items does not open the raw file and I failed in upgrading to 9.03 and camera raw 6.5.  Y at - it solution or do I have the latest elements?

    There are essentially 4 different solutions to this common problem with the older PES software:

    (1) upgrade to the latest version 14;  It's not free.

    (2) the software should come with your camera and download pictures on your computer;

    (3) your operating system may have some updates to download images from your camera.

    (4) use Adobe DNG converter and it is still free.  The latest version is:

  • 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.

  • Win Windows 7 photo viewer will not open the .psf files

    Windows Photo Viewer does not open. PSF files from Epson?

    Programs can recognize only the files they are supposed to use.

    In the case of the Windows Photo Viewer, the official documentation says that it can display the following types of files (although you can add a little more by installing one or more codecs- LINK):

    Joint Photographic Experts Group (JPEG)

    .jpg and .jpeg,

    Tagged Image File Format (TIFF)

    . TIF and .tiff

    Portable Network Graphics (PNG)

    .PNG

    Graphics Interchange Format (GIF)

    .gif

    Bitmap image

    .bmp and DIBs

    HD Photo

    . WDP

    Do you really mean PSF files?  As far as I can tell, a PSF file is probably an Adobe Photoshop proof Settings file.

    If you mean PDF files - which are outputs to any scanner - you can view these last with the free Adobe Reader or Foxit Readerfree software, among others.
