Re: Winzip and Windows XP problem, please help
I got the winzip from download.com I checked the file type association and it is set to the windows "compressed folder" program thing. I even hit the restore to default button but still no change. I never had it set to use Winzip as default for zip files (I think it was an option during the install) Maybe I'll try uninstalling Winzip, and hopefully Windows will be able to open the zip files again.

When I got Windows XP, I thought it was the greatest thing that it could open zip files without Winzip. I got so accustomed to it, and then the one day it can't open one, I've got to get Winzip, and now that whole functionality of XP is taken away. I'm no better off now than I was with my old 98SE machine.
