I can not open zip files!

I had this problem since day 1.  Whenever I get a zip file, Vista will not open the file instead, he associated with Internet Explorer and sends the computer into a loop of windows which can only be stopped by stopping turn signals.  If I associate the file with any other program, it opens not and goves me a message that the content is unreadable.  I do not get an option to "extract files".

Help!

Go to: 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 scroll down to the ZIP entry and click or double-click on it to launch the association of Zip files repair.  Then restart.  Zip files should now behave as usual.  You will still be able to use 7 - Zip instead of Vista if that is your choice.  All you have to do is change the file association by default for the ZIP files to 7-ZIP inntead of Vista.

If you have this problem withall the speed of your program, Diecut for entry EXE click or double-ICCT top to run the EXE file association repair.  This should solve the problem of all programs to open under internet explore (if that is the case - I'm not sure I quite understand your situation).

If the programs are open OK but the problem is that all the icons are all the internet Explorer icons, then perform a rebuild of the cache icon as follows:http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/117229-icon-cache-rebuild.html.

I hope this helps.

Good luck!

    You must use the restore backup procedure to restore individual files of access - you can not access it just directly from the backup (even if it's possible with 3rd party software - you can check Bing, Google,www.tucows.com and www.download.com).  If you made a backup of the complete picture, you should definitely 3rd party software even be able to do as you cannot access the individual with restore files (only if doing a restore completes).

    spirty,
    This sounds like it could also be a permissions problem. I'm guessing that when you copy-n-Paste the form on the LINUX Server, you did what Windows Explorer. When they are copied to the server LINUX file will be created with the default privileges defined on the file. I recommend that you connect to the LINUX Server and check the permissions on the file. If your file permissions do not match the permissions of the text.fmb (or other files .fmb you have there) I suggest that you change the permissions so that they match.

    I hope this helps.

  • Windows does not open Zip files more

    I use Windows 7 Professional for a few years now and I've always been able to open the zipped files.  Suddenly now my pc does not have a program associated with the opening of the zip files.  Something has changed and I have no idea of what has changed.  I asked this question before a Microsoft.com site, and he sent me to a site that was not Microsoft where I tried to download 7-zip which worked. But in the download zip 7 process it has also installed other applications that try to sell me unsolicited garbage.  I am appalled to see that Microsoft would send me to a site that attempted to install unsolicited applications.  Come on guys, just give me my windows version of WinZip go back so I can go about my business.   I have reviewed questions in this forum about this topic and it seems that it lasts for awhile now, surely someone at Microsoft noticed this problem and has a solution for this.  Can we download a fix for this.  Where in Windows is the program that opens zip files stored?

    Hello!

    Please restore default Windows 7 registry entries and program of the .zip file extension associations.
    How it's done, is described here: http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/19449-default-file-type-associations-restore.html

  • Easy transfer gets "Can not open the file" after update from XP to 7

  • I can not open raw files three of Adobe Camera Raw to Nik Efex

    Something strange happening never happened before.  I used to be on CS6 but now am on CC with the latest Adobe Camera Raw.  I used to be able to select three photos in camera raw, then click on tools and then I see my Nik Efex plugins and pick the one I wanted.  But I see now is Photoshop under tools at the bottom as an available option to open files.

    How can I open three files in HDR Efex Nik of Camera Raw?  Is there something wrong here or am I just not doing things right.  It seems that I did this before and now I can't.

    It should be listed under Google, because they bought Nik.

    Hello, after I did a clean reinstall of Win xp Pro, I have a Moose file under my documents that I can't open.

    The file was created on 26/07/2010, when I try to open it, I get the message "Access denied" and it can be write-protected. The file was not encrypted when originally made.

    I also tried dragging it to a shared folder, but the same message.

    What version of Adobe XD you have, and what version of Adobe XD your collaborator were they?  If you are still on version "Preview 3", you can see this error message when you try to open a file created in the most recent version "Preview 4".  (In the future, you will see a clearer error message in this situation).

    If you are on an older version, I encourage you to upgrade to extract 4 - which was released a week ago – and see if that helps.
