It seems that I cannot download any zip or rar files. I have downloaded all the different free programs to open them but that's not the problem. When I click on them to download, I get an mpeg picture, not the whole file. I'm just about at my wits end.

luckycampbell55,
Please verify that your .zip files are associated with a program meant to manage these types of files and not a picture editor.
To do this follow these instructions:
1) Navigate to Start > Control Panel > Default Programs and then select Associate a file type or protocol with a program.
2) Look for the zip file and rar file extensions and note the program it is associated with. If you see a program meant to edit pictures as the default, this is your problem.
3) Change the default program by highlighting the file extension and then choose the Change Program button and choose a program from the list, a program that can manage .zip and .rar files. And then see if your mpeg files turn into .zip and .rar files accordingly.
Please let me know the results, this is purely just a theory and if the .zip and .rar file extensions do not appear in the list, then we'll have to look elsewhere to solve the problem.
