  • 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.

    Hi StephanieCowley,

    Thanks for posting in the Microsoft Community.

    In addition, how are you doing today?

    You have a problem with opening the Zip files on the computer. This can be very frustrating for you, and I appreciate the efforts you have put in. Let us work together as a team and try to get this fixed number.

    We start with a few questions-

    (1) is this problem limited to opening files on Mozilla Firefox and Google Chrome?

    (2) you are able to open other files zip on the computer?

    (3) you have a program to open ZIP files installed on the computer?

    (4) you are able to open the same file on another computer (running the same version of the operating system)?

    (5) you get an error code?

    (6) do you have made further changes on the computer before the show?

    I would like more information about the issue.

    It is possible the file association by default to open this type of file is either corrupted or needs to be changed.

    Method 1-

    I would like that you try to open other files zip on the computer. Check if it helps.

    Method 2-

    I would have you scan a System File Checker to verify violations of integrity.

    See the article-

    How to use the System File Checker tool to fix the system files missing or corrupted on Windows Vista or Windows 7

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929833

    Method 2-

    I would have you look at the article-

    I opened 2 emails that were in the folder spam from my email and that each contained an attachment zip 2 k and 3 KB. As I could not open directly in my email, I opened the zip files with the "open in" another app option. When you open the zip files at this other app asked me if I wanted to extract zip files in a new folder, I have accepted, in both files .js (javascript) files there. I opened these .js inside this same application files and content files white text on black background and that seems to be a script file. My question is: my iPad Air has been compromised by a scam of viruses, such as the Trojan horse thieves and banking password especially as Dridex or Dyreza, the Trojans and ransomware as Locky, cryptolocker, or Teslacrypt. If that were the case, then what is the solution to get rid of these... Thank you.

    Simply delete them. It is not possible to install anything on iOS using this method. For good measure, you can remove and reinstall the application allowing you to open it with, but I don't really have that is actually needed.

  • Windows Photo Gallery does not open the zipped files

    Photo Gallery Windows does not open the photos that are in the zipped files received by Email. He said: Photo Gallery can't open this photo or video. This file format is not supported, or you do not have the latest updates to the photo gallery.

    This is expected behavior...

    Unzip the file and open the uncompressed version. Or just open
    the zip files and do drag the photos on the zip file and
    drop in a new folder.then you can open.

  • problem by opening the Zip file

    I have 8.0 Zip when I create a zip file and open the zip file all show but open in notped.

    The possible Zip files were dissasociated and rather associated with Notepad.  Go to start / Default programs / high a file or program with a Protocol / and go to .zip files.  It shows probably associated with Notepad.  Go to the following link: http://www.mydigitallife.info/2008/06/22/reset-and-fix-broken-windows-vista-file-ext-and-type-associations-include-exe-com-sys-zip-lnk-folder-drive/ and select the zip file option file and run it to reset the association of zip files.

    If this does not work, install 7-Zip http://www.7-zip.org/ one good program free Zip.  This should establish associate files with 7-Zip Zip (OK this action if requested).  Then, use 7 - Zip to open the Zip file.

    I hope this helps.

  • I can't open a zip file because when he saves, he is not a same folder open or "rip"! What is going on?

    I am trying to download fonts on my new laptop, using www.dafont.com. I used this source to download fonts to countless times on my previous laptop. I have windows 7 and now I also have WinZip and whenever I download a font zip file, it asks me if I want to open or save the zip file, as usual and no matter what I choose, the saved file icon is a white sheet (not a zip file you can open) and he says it's a ' zip '. When I click on it, I get the pop up notice that says "Application not found". I tried several fonts from different suppliers, so I know that this is not a defective or damaged zip file. Help, please!

    Alright.  Normally, at this point, the best thing I could suggest would be to make a new profile on the PC, that re-creates all the association.  It takes about 3 minutes to do and does not hurt your files or programs installed.

    However, if you are ready to try another tool called 'Types', you may be able to manually fix the file type where the registry import is a failure.  You can get it hereand once installed you can change the .zip association and make you what it "opens with" this command:

    C:\Windows\Explorer.exe /idlist,%I,%L

    New version of Windows (Vista and later versions) can open ZIP files internally, but on Windows XP, you must install an Archive Manager to open and extract files from a ZIP archive.

    You can look at the file manager of 7-zip or WinZIP or WinRAR if you don't have a an Archive Manager:
