You will need to make zip files work, all the files over the internet are zipped or compressed in another format these days, if you are using xp or vista you should be able to open zip files with them without installing any software like winzip or other compression software. My Favourite tool for compression is 7-zip it's free and opens many compressed formats. You can get it from here if you don't want to go threw the fix for the built in xp or vista compression software.

If that does not work for any reason use the registry fix file here

Double click the file and it will ask are you sure you want to add this to the registry say yes and restart the pc and see if you can now open a zip file, also if that fails try right clicking the zipped file and looking for open with and then look for "Compressed (zipped) Folders", if not there click "choose program..." at the bottom and search for it in the next window by scrolling down the programs listed and then when found "Compressed (zipped) Folders" click it and put a tick in the box saying "always use this selected program to open this kind of file" and click okay and it will now always unzip files by double clicking them.
How To Zip a file or folder
Select the file or folder you want to compress.
Right click and choose Send To
Slide Right and choose Compressed (zipped) folder
Allow the file or folder to compress.
You should now see an icon with the same name plus a Zip
It may even have a zipper on the folder.
This is the compressed file that you may put on the server or send via email.

How To Unzip a file or folder
If you receive a Zip file, you need to uncompress or unzip the file to use it.
Double-click on the Zip file.
It should expand automatically.
A file or folder with the same name (without the Zip) should appear.
Drag the contents of the Zip file to the desktop (or another location). When you do this, you will be copying the information from the Zip file to the computer. This will be your working copy of the data from the Zip file.
Close the Zip file window. You may keep the Zip file or delete it.
