This should help http://www.pc-shareware.com/download.htm
XP or newer has a built in unzipper for that compressed file type. If you need more help, just ask.

Zipper Folder isnt nothing but file compressed. Zipped files can be extracted using your Windows extractor. Just right click the zipper file and extract. If the compressed file is .rar, You need to use softwares like winrar or 7zip. I prefer winrar, but it has a trial period. So try that and check back.

Hi, I have Windows XP for Professionals. I have Winzip. Is this okay to use to open zip files? I really don't know what to do when I am downloading these particular files. Do I "open" or "save" when downloading?

Help!

miffedmom , save the .zip extension files onto your computer. Then unpack them using winzip or winrar.

Hi lattesurf , I have tried that but I can't figure out what to do once they are downloaded to my pc.

jctoad, I have tried your instructions but I think you have a different operating system than I do and I just can't figure it out.

Is there not a regular download of these MP3 Utility files??

Also, can anyone help me remove zip files completely from my system??

Do you want to remove the zip files that you have downloaded or do you want to uninstall winzip?

If you have Windows XP Pro, you don't have to have winzip. XP has a zipper/unzipper built in.

If you have more than 1 file that needs to be downloaded it is normally done as a zipped file. The utilities are 17 separate files. It's much easier to download one zip file than a bunch of individual files. Trust me, this won't be the last time that you will run into zipped files.

Hi jctoad, I want to remove the zip files but I keep getting the following error "Error Deleting File or Folder" Cannot delete Amvtransform.dll: Access denied.

Make sure the disk is not full or write-protected and that the file is not currently in use."

I do have Windows XP Pro, and yes I noticed it has a file to unzip. This is the first time I have encountered zip files in all the years I have been using my computer.

try rebooting ur computer...miffedmom...the message

Error Deleting File or Folder" Cannot delete Amvtransform.dll: Access denied.

Make sure the disk is not full or write-protected and that the file is not currently in use."

this kind of message always occurs becoz of other program or user are using the file...it is not becoz of the zip file...
