I don't know what the source of the problem is, but it's probably just a
corrupt file. If you want a fine file compression and expansion program that will handle most formats, try the free, open source PeaZip. -- Blessings & peace --- Ray "Lilly" wrote in message ... I have a similar problem: Using Vista Home Premium at workplace. Been recieving e-mail attachment every Thursday from "CBDisk-FedBizOpps". (Contract bid opportunities). They sent their own CD-Rom to install so as to download these zip files to. Was working fine until all of a sudden, when it comes to open the file to install the weekly issue I get this-"Dyna Zip Unzip error: Zip structure invalid (Problem reading Zip file)" What has happened? Is this a Windows problem? -- Lilly "Waistcoat" wrote: Hi all, I've suddenly lost my ability to unzip files.

I was able to decompress when I had XP, anyone know what happened? |

Thanks for the sugestion, Wandering. I will write that down and save it in
case I need it later, but for right now the problem seems to be solved. I just took a chance on changing the compatibility program's "use an older version of Windows" and changed it to "Windows 98". It seems to work well now. ST -- Lilly "Wandering" wrote: I don't know what the source of the problem is, but it's probably just a corrupt file.

Yes, it seemed to have given me the option to extract again as it is now
associated with the program again but as mentioned below the icon is still not back. Maybe a restart will do the trick. Anyone have the zipfolder icon come back after doing this fix spoken about here?

A reboot will do the trick. In case that does not work, you may have to rebuild the icons. See:
