Installing compression programs can prevent XP from working well with your zip files.

Users install multiple compression programs. All of them try to grab compression associations from all the other compression programs. Once you uninstall some of these programs, your system doesn’t know what to do anymore.

Well, you can always turn XP’s ability to handle zip files back on:

1. Click on Start
2. Click Run
3. In the Open box type the following: regsvr32 zipfldr.dll
4. Click Ok
