• Windows 7 cannot open zip files

  I'm almost certain that, in the past, my Dell Inspiron 580 with Windows 7 could open zip files.

  Last month I had to replace my internal hard drive and reinstall Windows from the disks that I bought from Dell.  Now when I try to open a zip file I downloaded, I have an alert that says that Windows Explorer is unable to open it.

  I see a lot of different programs, you can buy or download free, claiming to allow you to decompress the files.  Isn't Windows supposed to be able to open zip se files?

  Is there any downloadable for free, zip file openers that work with Windows 7 64 bit?

  Hello Jumprun,

  Compress or decompress files isn't windows features. Software of third party such as WinZip, WinRAR, 7Zip are used to compress and decompress files. You can download them by clicking the program you want to download.
  WinZip
  WinRAR
  7zip I hope this helps!

• Cannot open .zip files after AutoUpdate

  I recently had an automatic windows update and since then I can't open .zip files and my files wihtin a folder have been reorganized without doing me anything.  When I try to open the .zipfiles (which were downloaded on the internet July 2010) w Internet explorer tries to oppen a component but done this several times per second, so I get white flashes but no connection. I don't know what they opened with before.  The only way I can stop the flashing windows (which eventually come with the message "not responding" is to restart the computer.  However if I try to get on the internet, normally there no problem.  Some of the text files, are some of the videos.   Before this recent update, I never had a problem opening these files.  Can you please help.

• Windows Photo Viewer cannot open this file because the file seems to be corrupted, damaged or too big.

  I am on Windows 7 and using Photo Viewer to watch 5 tiff files. I can open all tiff files in photoshop or psp, but not in photoviewer. Here, I can open only 2 smaller files. Is there a limit of size on the photo viewer (it seems). The files that I can not open are 1.45

  Hello
   
  a. like you said that the size of file that 1.45, could you give the exact size in MB, GB or KB?
  b. Since the photoviewer is used to display basic tiff files, if the file contains additional metadata information that can not be played on photoviewer it could give you the error message.
  1 copy these pictures on another computer in Windows 7 and check if the files open.
  2. you can also try to change the file format and check if it converts in this format and it opens correctly.
  You can see the following article on changing the file format.

• G000-TouchSmart15-HP: cannot open zip files

  I've recently updated to Windows 10. Since then, I was able to extract information from the important work of zip files that I downloaded. They are for most of the photos for sale, but I contacted my employer and the problem is not at their end help!

  Thanks for all the help. Turns out I missed 1 vital button. Rookie mistake.

• "My external hard drive does not appear in Windows Explorer and cannot open 'Help and Support', an error message" Windows cannot open help and Support because a system service is not ongoing.

  Original title:

  Everything was fine until yesterday. Juice now, when I plugged the external HD into the USB port it does not appear in the 'my computer' window. It is recognized by the computer as it is present on the list of the "Disk Clean Up" and it also appears when I click on ' Safe Remove Hardware ' on the taskbar. But if she does not appear in the 'my computer' window I can't work with it or don't even know what it I have arquived in it.

  Trying to find a solution, I realized that same 'information system' to 'System tools' is also not available. Pops up a window saying that "Windows cannot open help and Support because a system service is not ongoing enforcement. " To resolve this problem, start the service named help and Support '. OK, I tried to open 'Help and Support' ' Start Menu ' and the same window appeared again to "not have a system service that runs". I don't know what her soul precisely and I have not the slightest idea of what I need to do to correct this 'disappearance' of Service 'system '. There is nothing without the appearance of HD in the window of thw work? Everything else works fine and the calculation is virus-free. What should I do?

• Windows Photo Viewer cannot open *.tif files

  Hi Windows Photo Viewer don't open no * tif files on computers Dell desktop running Windows Pro 8.1 and Windows 7 Professional.

  Do not use a drive.

  Tried system restore, but does not solve the problem.

  Windows posted a temporary fix (https://support.microsoft.com/en-sg/kb/2635500), but recommended "If you are not severely affected by this problem, we recommend you wait for the next software update, which will include this fix."

  Windows finally gets out the permanent fix for users?  Still waiting.

  The patch in KB2635500 appears directed at problems with files TIF MultiPage (usually of the faxes).  Do you do business with?  You get the error message that is mentioned in the article?

  If this isn't the case, what exactly happens when you try to open a single TIF file (non-multi-site)?  Is it just does not open or you get an error message?  If the latter, what is the full text of the error message?

  It is possible that the Windows System File Checker can solve this problem.  Open an elevated command prompt (right click > run as administrator) and enter the command:

  sfc/scannow

  See https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/929833

  Or you could abandon the Windows Photo Viewer and use the much more versatile application free IrfanView: http://www.irfanview.com/
