can't unzip
I am running Vista on a Toshiba Satellite lap top. I am trying to unzip a Zipped file, but it won't unzip. I made sure it was unblocked, but still no unzip. Any other suggestions?

Thanks,

What zipped format? What unzipping program?
What's the source of the file?
Any error messages?

Try A Different Program
Are you using the program that came with windows? The problem might be that it is not really a zip file, but a RAR or some other file renamed to .zip, try using a more professional piece of software like 7-zip which handles most formats of archives.
