I can't extract the zip files; I get an error message that says: "Application not found".

I can't extract the zip files; I get an error message that says: "Application not found".  When I check help & press the Start button, it tells how to do it.  I thought a program to automatically extract compressed files came with Vista.

Hello

1. you use the functionality of Windows Vista to unzip file or third party software?

2. have you done any software or hardware changes on your computer before this problem?

To work with this problem, see the following methods.

Method 1:

Scan of the SFC

Refer to this article for more information on how to use the System File Checker tool to fix the system files missing or corrupted on Windows Vista or Windows 7.

In addition, I suggest you to check if the .zip file has been associated with a particular program in the section default programs.
