Problems of extracting .zip files
I am not able to unzip a zip file. I tried using the "right click; Extract all' and also tried "Drag and drop" the files compressed separately off the compressed xxx.zip file/folder, like the MS HELP says to do, but neither work. There is no error message, just nothing happens. What is blocking the decompress/extraction occur?
Hello
Here are a few very good tutorials about it

http://maximumpcguides.com/Windows-Vista/compress-and-uncompress-a-folder-or-file-in-Windows-Vista/
Right click on a file or a folder with many files it contains, point to send to, and then select the compressed file (zipped file).
Windows Vista will compress (zip) the file or folder and save the new file zipped in the same place as the original file.
Unzip (unzip) files and folders
You can unzip a file in several different ways.
Double-click the zipped file
To decompress a file, the easiest method is to double-click it. It will open a window with the contents of zipped files. You can click on extract all files or drag the files from the window to the desired location (example: office).
If you choose to click on extract all files, the files will be extracted (unzipped) in the same location as the original file except if you specify that a location in her select a Destination and extract files in a box that appears when you choose to extract them.
Right-click on the zipped file
Right click on the zip file and select extract all. The Select a Destination window will open and extract files and you can choose if you want to save the files in the same location as the original file, or you can choose where you want to save the unzipped files by clicking Browse and choose a new location.

I try to install photoshop elements 13, that I bought and downloaded from Amazon. When I try to install it I get the following error message: "this is a problem when extracting the files. Check the amount of space available on your computer and the rights to write to the destination folder. I administrar 1.38 TB of free space and total control.
Charles please do not remove the installation files in the Program Files directory. I recommend to extract the installation to your downloads folder or your desktop files. Once installation files are extracted, you can then run the installation program to install Photoshop elements 13.

Unable to extract zip files (no connection to windows built in zip app)
I have previous been able to extract files with the ending .zip, after removing the zip genius, my .zip ending files will not be extracted by windows 7 built in Extractor. The question is when windows does not recognize the zip file and it asks me what program I open the zip file with. I can't find windows 7 zip app in the list, and I really don't want to use any 3-tier apps. Advice on what to do?
Toven,
If you have already tried to change the file extension, nothing helps, you can try a System Restore to a point before the problem/change occurred. I hope this helps.

Impossible to open or extract zip files.
It is the first time that I tried to extract files compressed on my new machine. I have several zip files that extract not. When I try to extract, I get a message saying:
"Cannot complete the compressed (zipped) folders extraction Wizard.
The compressed (zipped) folder is empty.
Before you can extract files, you must copy the files to this compressed (zipped) folder.To close this wizard, click Finish. »
The properties of zip files show that they are 100 + MB, so they do not seem to be empty of this point of view.
Any ideas why this happens?

Unable to extract .zip files?
Today I went to download some fonts for photoshop. Ive done it before and it worked, but all of a sudden when I download the .zip file, the icon that it is now the photoshop icon and when I double click on the file, it tries to open in photoshop, but does not say that the file type cannot be opened there. It's probably a little confused, but if someone knows how to help, then please do. Thank you!
I don't know if you are running Windows or MacOS, but I'll go with Windows.
Right-click on the zip icon
Choose open with > the program choose default
Select your zip Extractor program and make sure 'always open with this program' is checked.
Click OK and your zip file should open properly.
Make a note of this tip, you can use it to set the default program for any type of file.

I install the update on a 64-bit of WIndows 10 computer. I installed updates several times in the past with no problems.
Message indicates also that I should check the available space and to write to the destination folder. I have a lot of hard disk space and have full write privileges.
Can anyone help with this.
Thank you all for your attempts to help. I found the problem. We recently moved to retire and have a pretty slow DSL internet provider. It turns out that even if the entire .exe file seems to have downloaded, it turns out that the file has been corrupted by bad internet connection. It's why some files are not from. The error message was unfortunately worded such that it did not seem to point to such a problem (implicit low disk space or a mistake to privilege admin).
I solved using my Verizon service of my mobile phone as a hotspot and downloaded on my computer via my phone. Everything was installed normally after that.
Appreciate attempts to help them.
