Hi Dorothy,

Zip is a data compression format used to make files smaller in size to save 
storage space, download faster, etc. Most files are not usable in a 
compressed state so you will need a Zip utility to "unzip" the file. Many 
such programs are available for this purpose, both free and those you pay 
for. When installed, these programs should associate themselves with the Zip 
file extension. Here are links to three free programs:

Subject: [PCSOFT] File asociation


I have just downloaded some software for my Sharp cam phone so that I can 
transfer pictures from the phone to my PC.

The download was successful but when I came to open the file it asked me 
which program I wanted to open it with. It's a zip file so what do I do?"
