How do i open a zip file?

it asks me what program to open it with.

i have windows vista...and i know i dont have buy a program for it, since i've opened them before...

But can someone help me?

Answer 1

u need a program freeware called winzip..type it in google..

Answer 2

Try right-clicking it, then select "extract all."

That is the way to open them in Windows XP, so it should be something akin to that for Vista.

Answer 3

It might actually be a Rar file.  They are popular in peer-to-peer file sharing.  Rar files are similar to Zip files, but it requires a different type of program to open it.  The program is called Winrar.  It's a trial software, but the program let's you continue to use it after the trial period.
