After Re-Installing

[Xfactor]

hi,

After re-installing windows for the first time,(after system crash) I can no longer open zipped files. Furthermore I cant Install windows updates, and my downloads seem to real slow.

Also downloaded kaspersky, and it wouldnt fully install(missing components)IE7 wont install either.

It seems like I left something out. I have no clue. Please help, any suggestions??

It turns out, my windows Installer was bad. And was able to correct the problem through the help of QFIT.

Still unable to open zip files. Should I get winzip or winrar??

Thank for your help kimsland.

Hey there

I personally like the program WinAce.... Can be used for most types of compressed files. Check it out.
