Windows has blocked a file that I am trying to unzip

I am trying to unzip a zip file and I get a message saying that my windows vista has blocked the file

Please tell us the EXACT text of the error (including all codes) - he can help solve the problem.

What is the full path of the zip file (where it is currently on your system)?  It can be in a place that has permission issues that must be addressed.

What is the file type of the zip file (the extension to three digits following the point in the name of the file)?  Some file types can not be handled by Vista unpacking program.

Maybe you can download, install and try the free program 7-Zip http://www.7-zip.org/ and it may have more luck have decompressed the file without being blocked (even if it depends on how and why he is blocked).

Here is a link to a free zip repair tool if you need: http://www.diskinternals.com/zip-repair/ to check if your zip file is corrupt and can be repaired.

I hope this helps and look forward to your answers to the questions here and above.  With these answers, we can help you much better.

Good luck!

    Welcome to the community of Microsoft and thanks for posting the question. I've surely you will help find a solution on the issue.

    If Windows 7 inform you that this file is harmful then you can safely assume that it is. It was probably altered during the compression process. Try to get an intact copy.

  • What this means if I want to 'Run or save' a file that I am trying to download?

    What this means if I want to 'Run or save' a file that I am trying to download?

    Refers to run the file (it's probably an exe file or similar, which runs a program).  Record means to save the file, and you can click it to run it later.  It is always better to first save the file (in a place, you can find easily) and then he search for potential viruses first before running.  Make sure you know what you click on and download, because things will immediately infect your computer - often to the point of making it unusable.

    If restore work not and you do not have a Vista DVD from Microsoft, do a repair disc to do a Startup Repair:

    Download the ISO on the link provided and make a record of repair time it starts.

    Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

    At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu.

    When you have changed that, insert the Bootable disk you did in the drive and reboot.

It cannot be used to install or reinstall Windows Vista, and is just a Windows PE interface to recovering your PC. Technically, we could re-create this installation with downloadable media media freely from Microsoft (namely the Microsoft WAIK, several gigabyte download); but it is pretty darn decent of Microsoft to present Windows users who might not be able to create such a thing on their own.

    You use a KMS host illegal that was detected and blocked.

    OK, so I had Windows 7 Professional for about 2 years, being authentic, so he decides to not be authentic and is blocked by windows. I bought the key back from some site online and it was sealed and new, so I don't understand why this is happening.

    Your license information:

    Windows product key: *-* - J8D7P - XQJJ2-GPDD4
    The Windows Product Key hash: xgsndMkYdJsYmUng0qIJ/thx + HI =
    Windows product ID: 00371-868-0000007-85181
    Windows product ID type: 1
    Windows license type: Customer KMS
     
    KMS stands for key management server. This means it's a copy of volume license of Windows which is sold only to companies making large deployments of Windows. Copy of Windows volume license cannot be purchased off-the-shelf or individual licenses. It also requires a KMS host with an organization.
     
    In addition, KMS licenses must be reactivated to 180 days. It seems that Microsoft has detected an illegal KMS host has been setup, so it has been blocked, make your copy of 'useless '.
     
    You need to invest in a genuine license.
     
  • Mac on Windows SMB shares - IDLK files that allows multiple users to access the same file endangered

    Hello

    We have an agreement with Adobe volume licensing and have about 16 licenses Adobe CS6 all used on Mac computers. The network focuses on Windows servers and actions that Macs connect to the through an SMB connection on the server. The question we have is that when you open an InDesign file, sometimes it will not create an IDLK file (or sometimes it will create one, but it will disappear a few seconds later) and it allows several people to view the same file at the same time. Of course two or more people working on the same file can, will and caused problems with crash documents without knowledge to do so.

    Someone else has experienced this or have any ideas as to what might help us solve this problem?

    Thank you

    There will be no file locking for an earlier version, until it is saved as a

    CS6 file.

    For the rest, this looks like a problem with permissions on the server.
