I messed up compress and decompress files Win XP. Can I get help?

I don't know that I've caused this mess somehow by deleting or disabling something somewhere. Can someone clue me?

My computer has lost the association. ZIP files and he wants to use a program WinZip he wants to sell me.

I googled the hell out to try to solve this problem and stuff talking about click with the right button on any file and choose something to compress. But is not there at all. If I try to open this file, a box pops up wanting me to use a trial version of WinZip or purchase.

After fighting this mess a day for a week, I'm almost ready to throw in the towel and a pc to Apple. But I'm not a silencer!

So can someone please copy / paste in, or simply write me a quick lesson on the implementation of this compressed file (zipped) and then zip a file inside to allow the smaller space of storage or for emailing?

I'm no reader don't link, so please don't not all component software snap-in all the links to me like this http://support.microsoft.com/kb/306531. For some reason, my head just started twisting and even after trying to make sense out of what he tells me to do, I'm still lost.

Help!

I was able to open a zip file that I found online somehow, somehow after that double click I wanted to just open it with WinZip. Somehow, I recorded it on my desk and then I think clicked and selected open with and he offered me something (compressed) standard Windows. But I don't seem to get that now.

I would of course go to my Docs and a kind of zip file and then send it to myself and then unzip the attachment. But I can not yet understand how to do the 1st step. I'm feeling braindead, but actually I was quite able technically my life. HOW frustrating1

CAN I HAVE IT PLEASE HELP!

Yes, WinZip is a commercial product, but you can use 7-zip, which is both free and much better than the built-in Windows file archiver.

To restore the native Windows XP file compression utility, see--> http://windowsxp.mvps.org/zipfldr.htm

These directions are pretty clear, but if you have problems, after return and tell what is confusing you.  If it still does not, after the full text of any error message you get, without paraphrasing.

  • Compress and decompress data using GZip

    Hello

    I compress and decompress data on Blackberry 8100 device using the GZip algorithm.

    I use following code:

    try {           GZIPOutputStream gCompress = null;          try {               ByteArrayOutputStream compressByte = new ByteArrayOutputStream();               gCompress = new GZIPOutputStream(compressByte,9);               gCompress.write(inputstring.getBytes());                                                //gCompress.flush();                compressedBytes = compressByte.toByteArray();               System.out.println("compressedBytes : "                     + new String(compressedBytes));             compressedString = new String(compressedBytes);                         } catch (IOException ex) {              ex.printStackTrace();           }       } catch (Exception e) {         e.printStackTrace();        }
    

    The server is unable to decompress data.

    Help, please.

    Thank you very much.

    I think you do a byte to the conversion of the string which you should not do and which may be screwing up your data.  The output of compression is not likely to be easily represented by Unicode characters and you want to transmit the bytes, so I think that is not necessary.

    This is a reformulated version of the sample in the API, which seems inaccurate, in any case: give it a try and remember that you can send the bytes, not characters.

    public static byte[] compress( byte[] data ) {
        try {
            ByteArrayOutputStream baos = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
            GZIPOutputStream gzipStream = new GZIPOutputStream( baos,
                                                                GZIPOutputStream.COMPRESSION_BEST,
                                                                GZIPOutputStream.MAX_LOG2_WINDOW_LENGTH );
            gzipStream.write( data );
            gzipStream.close();
            return baos.toByteArray();
        }
        catch(IOException ioe) {
            return null;
        }
    }
    
  • Question about compression and decompression

    I see that the UTL_COMPRESS package allows you to compress and decompress data binary (RAW, BLOB and BFILE).

    My question is: Y at - it a utility that will do something similar for the VARCHAR2 data?

    You can just use UTL_RAW. Cast_To/From_Varchar2?

  • During execution of the backup and maintenance on one of my computers, I noticed a folder and the file that I can't identify me...

    Original title: identity of unknown folder

    During execution of the backup and maintenance on one of my computers (Windows xp home, sp3), I noticed a folder and the file that I can't identify.  The name of the folder is cc68f6b7a7ca948eefb018f001 and the name of the update.exe file.  The properties of the file that it is a Windows Service Pack installation.  I tried Googling the name of the folder, but found nothing.

    Can you tell me with regard to this issue, and what, if anything, I have to do?

    Thank you.

    When some programs (including Windows) installs things, it can create a temporary folder composed of 20-30 random letters and numbers or random numbers and letters in the root of the drive of the volume with more free space.

    This explains why the records are sometimes on your C drive or any other drive - the most space?

    For example, you can see a similar to or called folder:

    D:\9470bb12e8a4f3447657236478e41c5

    There may be other folders and files in this main temporary folder such as amd64 and i386 platforms.

    They should normally be deleted when the installation is complete, but sometimes they are not - especially if the installation fails.  They are harmless but annoying.  You can think something is wrong when there are no or fear, that the files are really necessary.  To avoid confusion, you can delete the temporary files.

    If your installation has failed or the installation does not remove the folder to the random name when it finishes running again installation will be another folder at the random name.

    You may be able to identify installation (out of curiosity) by looking at some of the contents of the folder and decide if this installation was not serious, just remove the files/folders.  If the installation does not work for some reason, run again just installation will create a new temporary folder to the random name so the old temporary folder is really useless.

    Records are sometimes tough to remove.  Even if you are an administrator on the system, you might get a "sharing violation", "access denied", "used" or type similar message when you try to delete temporary folders.  Facilities sometimes use different permissions that can have a regular user with the administrator group.

    There are many methods to try to remove the folders, and some require third party programs to install or change some windows settings that could compromise the security of your system if you do not change them back when you're done.

    Start your system in Mode safe mode (by pressing the F8 key several times just before XP attempts to load) is one good method to try to remove the files because it does not have to make any changes to your system configuration or by downloading third-party programs.

    If you are running XP Home Edition, the following section on turn off "Simple file sharing" does not apply to you since in XP Home, Simple file sharing is always turned on.  If you are running XP Home Edition, skip the next few paragraphs and resume where it says:

    "If no part tool above work try a third popular called Unlocker.

    If Safe Mode does not work you can change the security of the folder when you start in Normal Mode to give your username full control over the files by navigating to it in Solution Explorer, click on tools, Folder Options, view and in the advanced settings window, uncheck (at the bottom of the list) use simple file sharing (recommended) and click OK.  This disables him recommended simple file sharing on your computer if you want to turn it back on when you're done to make everything you do.

    Right-click on the files of interest, click Properties and click the now visible security tab.  Change the properties, but you need (for example, select your user name, and check the box to allow full control), click OK to apply the changes.

    With usage share of active simple files (recommended) the checked the properties of the folder tabs are:

    General, sharing, customize

    With the use of sharing files simple disabled (recommended) box unchecked, the properties of the folder tabs are:

    General, security, customize

    Now, try to manipulate/delete the folder.

    It's a good idea to go back to the Explorer and the cheque in the box easy to use sharing files (recommended) when you have finished making everything you do.

    If none of the above works, try a popular third-party tool called Unlocker.

    Unlocker can be downloaded here:

    http://www.emptyloop.com/Unlocker/

    If you use Unlocker, be sure to install because he wants to add a bunch of options, addons, shortcuts and other extras that you don't need.

    You must add the shell extension so when you right click on the offending file, you will have a Unlocker option to choose.  I would just install it long enough to clean up the leftovers and then, I usually just uninstall and all parts of it.  You can always install it again another day if you like.

    Unlocker can be uninstalled when you have finished using it.

    Reboot when finished to ensure that boring records are really missing.

    Hello retabox, welcome.

    It would seem that the installer is corrupted. I recommend trying to use the Windows Installer Cleanup utility to force - to remove the application. Try this:
    2. click on the download link in the middle of the page
    3. save the file to your desktop or just click Run the installation of the application
    4. once the application is installed, open the utility. The utility must be located in the menu START under (START > programs > Windows Installer...)
    5. in the utility, find the application you want to uninstall, and then click the button 'delete' below
    6. once removed, restart the computer and see if you can reinstall the application
    Let us know if it works,
    Thank you!
