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

Hope that helps.

See you soon

  • Pages does not open any file more except models

    From one day to the other Pages 5.6.1 does not open any more files on my MacBook Pro with OS X 10.11.3. I tried all means: 'Open recent', 'open... '. ","With "Open Pages", without result. A restart does not help. Best regards.

    Hi Ciroamos,

    I understand that you're having trouble to open a document Pages 5.6.1 on your MacBook Pro.  Have you recently updated or changed on demand?  Have you tried to open a Pages document on icloud drive, in addition to your computer? One thing I would try is to use Time Machine and go back to an earlier date and see if you can open a document.  If you can't, then you must uninstall the application Pages and re-download from the Mac App Store.

  • • Just download Camera Raw 8.3/8.4, and Photoshop does not open my files more!

    Hello-

    I fell today on this update to Camera Raw-> http://blogs.adobe.com/crawlspace/2011/03/keeping-photoshop-up-to-date.html#notconnected

    (See the sentence "the download links Direct to Camera Raw for Photoshop CS6 8.3").

    And I've seen Camera Raw 8.4 for CS6 (I am currently working with this version).

    Strange, you read "8.3", but the link says "8.4"...

    Too cool, I directly downloaded and applied the "update." And the update has been successfully installed. If I can believe the window below (screenshot).

    Screen shot 2014-05-08 at 21.01.51.png

    Right after, I opened Photoshop CS6® and boummm now I can't open my pictures more!

    Photoshop® tells me that:

    Could someone help me on this?

    Thanks, have a nice day...

    You are using mac os x 10.6 snow leopard?

    If so, camera raw 8.4 does not work on snow leopard.

    You will need to go back to camera raw 8.3

  • Photo Gallery does not open some files (pictures) that he used. He said: it is not "supported."

    Photo Gallery does not open some files that it used.  He said that its not "supported"?  In addition, I can't open some of the files that are in that I think an older version of word.  How can I fix these problems?  There is no window that opens for updates when opening Photo Gallery.

    Well, you don't say what files it used to open then try this. Control Panel, programs, by default, set your default progaams, Windows Photo Gallery, set this program as default.

  • After installation, the main Thunderbird window does not open (send emails)

    Thunderbird has been an automatic upgrade this morning (02/05/14).
    Now, when I open it, it opens and I can even see the preview of the main screen when I hover over the icon in my launch, but the main window does not open.
    If I right click to compose a message, I can, and it does not send. But I didn't see the main screen.
    I closed it, closed the process of thunderbird. I moved my profile and reinstalled Thunderbird.
    Same problem ever time.

    When I try to open the registry, it says it's corrupt. But CCCleaner does not seem to fix. Don't know what to do next.

    Thanks for any help you can provide!

  • 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!

  • 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!

    Bschum

    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.

  • Photoshop CS4 does not open RAW files

    Photoshop CS4 won't open RAW (.) CR2 files). I tried what is indicated on the Adobe (versions, uninstall, reinstall check) website. Nothing has worked. It still gives me the error message: "Could not complete your request because Photoshop does not recognize this file type."

    I use CS4 on a Mac OS with a Canon Rebel XS 10.6.6. I currently have Camera Raw 5.7 installed.

    Someone at - it answers?

    Thank you

    Teresa

    This image is only a little more than 3 megabytes.  It's not quite large for a true CR2 file from your camera - they are normally over 10 megabytes, right?

    The raw file seems to be truncated.  Photoshop does not open, and the free software IrfanView will convert only the upper left quadrant.

    Regarding the recovery of the images, at least in part, you may be lucky...  Canon's Raw files contain an embedded JPEG preview image.  It is smaller than the size of the full pixel of the camera and in front in the file.

    Photo Viewer Windows 7 or the free software IrfanView will extract the JPEG embedded all of the image of the figure of the cat of this file.  You may use these tools to extract previews for use.

    How you did load the images into your computer?  He must try to understand how they have been truncated.
