Files zipped not opening
I recently downloaded a folder zipped with music that is in wav format, after having extracted the folder I found when I open the file it takes forever to open the Explorer windows causing freeze. and when I try to delete the folder it freezes just showing that its recycling activities, but nothing to really happen. I end up having to restart completely. Anyone know what could be the cause? or how I can stop this from happening. I tried to move the file elsewhere but always occurs even when I extracted the zip file again...
Hello
Please contact the Microsoft Community forums. I understand that you are unable to open the zipped files. When you open the folder it takes forever to open the Explorer windows causing freeze and when you try to delete the folder it freezes.
Where did you downloaded zip file?
Follow the steps for troubleshooting steps.
Method 1:
I suggest you check out the link.
Compress and uncompress files (zip files).
http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/compress-and-uncompress-files-ZIP-files
View (to extract (or unzip) files or folders from a compressed folder) the link above.
Method 2:
I suggest to try a clean boot and try to open the folder and try to delete the file when the computer is in a clean boot.
See the link to perform the clean boot.
How to perform a clean boot for a problem in Windows Vista, Windows 7 or Windows 8.
http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929135
Note:
After the clean boot, start the computer in normal mode.
Follow the steps to start the computer in normal mode.
a. click Start, type msconfig.exe in the Start Search box and press ENTER. If you are prompted for an administrator password or for confirmation, you must type the password or click continue.
b. on the general tab, click the Normal startup option and then click OK.
c. When you are prompted to restart the computer, click restart.
Method 3:
If you are not able to delete the folder, then I suggest you to start the computer in safe mode and try to delete the folder.
See the link to start the computer in safe mode.
Startup options (including safe mode).
http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-in/Windows7/advanced-startup-options-including-safe-mode
Method 4:
I suggest you to run an online virus scan.
See the link.
Microsoft safety scanner.
http://www.Microsoft.com/security/scanner/en-us/default.aspx
Note: The Microsoft Safety Scanner ends 10 days after being downloaded. To restart a scan with the latest definitions of anti-malware, download and run the Microsoft Safety Scanner again.
Note: The data files that are infected must be cleaned only by removing the file completely, which means that there is a risk of data loss.
If the problem still persists, please do not hesitate to send us, we will be happy to help you.
Thank you.

I got a fix, but the file does not open correctly. __
I received this fix: http://hotfixv4.microsoft.com/Windows%20Vista/sp3/Fix291684/6000/free/395073_intl_i386_zip.exe
The self-extracting file does not open correctly. Any thoughts on how to get this to work?
It's actually an executable file which probably opens a file or a zipped folder.
If the procedures described above do not (or if you prefer another alternative), download the free 7 - Zip at: http://www.7-zip.org/ and install it and use it to open the zip file. This should probably fix the problem.
I hope this helps.
Good luck!

NCO files does not open
Uploaded photos of old pc again using disc. Nero was used as it was the old pc and new pc will not open files. Windows 7 now, old pc is xp. Help. No nero on new pc, any software available to help? Thank you
To ask what is obvious, why not put Nero on the new PC?
Use Nero ZIP compression of backup files, if they have not been encrypted, change the name extension of * .zip.

My new Office Jet 8500 (A910-G) seems to correctly perform a scan to PDF, but the PDF file does not open, gives me the error message "the selected document cannot be opened" in PDF Complete.
I agree that it's a software because it works well with Adobe Acrobat. It's just PDF Complete (which was free with my HP computer) does not work!

I recently had my computer repaired and Office 2007 has been reloaded. Now I get the message "not found when I try to open some files and application for a single file, «windows cannot find the file...»» ».
If I change the name of the folder, some files were opened.
In one case, the file opened under the new name [I added a letter], then later not open again - got the same message "application not found" and the Red Cross of death.
Hi Martin,
How you try to open the file? You are double clicking on the icon of the file to open or by using the menu file-> the option open in the application to open the file?
The question is limited to Microsoft Office applications?

.exe files are not open; affected by the Windows Security Center of lazy virus
Hello!
As the title indicates, none of my executables will open his; on the contrary, when I click on an icon or similar function (as in the start menu), I'm inclined to the screen 'open with... ». I noticed that most often, if I run the program as administrator, it is likely to work without having to manually find the file - still a bit tedious however.
I'm assuming that since I was recently hit by the virus which is a fake Windows Security Center, something my registry has also been hit (take into account the fact that I'm not savvy computer in the slightest). It happened on my user account initial and rather than take action on the right, then, I decided that I would use the other account that I had to install a program better anti-virus (Norton provided ISP) than the one I had been using (the two admin). At that point, I had finished all my activity moved to the new account and it worked very well until the virus had one possessing this account as well - delete on the first user account seemed to have deleted only the effects of my account but still affected everything I did after that. This time, I went and deleted all accounts and checked to ensure that it is not at all. After getting rid of the virus, it's the same thing: none of my .exe files will open without using the monitor "open with...". ». I'm not really sure what action to take from here, I have not done much to remedy the situation, and I'm going right through the screen of "open with...". "to get to what whatever - so any suggestions or help would be very appreciated.
Keypoints:
- .exe files are not open (However, in some cases, the "Run as Administrator" option overrides it)
- recently hit with (deleted) and fake Windows Security Center virus ; That's when the .exe is no longer
- is not much in terms of addressing this problem, do not know what to do with regard to the question of if my situation calls for something specific
I tried to cover everything that seemed important to address; However, if there is more need information, let me know. I am about average in terms of computer navigation and therefore my understanding of what many of these commands, functions and files is a bit Basic.
Thank you! :)
Thanks for the very comprehensive post. Run the Doug Knox fix (that isn't a .exe that you can do this).
