Reader 9.0 on Vista associates itself with my .zip files ?!?!

System: a Brand NEW (as in 3 days old) Vista machine (3 gig, dual core).
When I install Adobe Reader, the first time, my .zip files are okay - I can use the built-in uncompress feature to open them. If I shut down and come back the next day, Reader is now associated with my .zip files so I can't open them. The only way is to uninstall reader. I don't want to have to keep uninstalling/reinstalling each time I need to either open a .zip file (which I do frequently) or read a .pdf file.
I don't know what microsoft program to associate them with so I can unassociate the .zip files with Reader and use the built in uncompress command to open the .zip files. (I did find where to set file associations in Vista.)
Can someone here help me?
Thanks,
Trish

Okay,
I found a "fix".
To help others - there is a registry fix you can run - see this page:
http://www.winhelponline.com/articles/105/1/File-association-fixes-for-Windows-Vista.html
Follow the instructions on that page, and it does seem to fix it.
Just note, the icon associated with the zip file may remain Adobe Reader, but if you right click, "Extract All" *will* show up on the list. (Extract All was *not* on the list when I booted up.)
Vista is giving me a headache!

  • Problem with attached zip file

    I received an email with a zip file attached, but whenever I try to open it I get the message "Unable to unarchive "filename.zip: into "Desktop." (Error 1 - Operation not permitted)"
    Can anyone help?

    Download Stuffit Expander which can open just about anything you throw at it. You can obtain this "free" utility from Versiontracker and Macupdate.

  • Problem on windows xp with downloaded zip file

    Hi,
    I have written a JSP to download file which is as follows

    int iRead;

    After downloading zip file, could not extract files on windows XP by using any tool or built-in extractor i.e. compressed(zipped)folders (error: compressed folder invalid or corrupted).
    But this works on win2k or win98
    How can i work with it or can anyone tell me a solution to handle such a problem.
    Thanks in advance.

    This could be a problem with the built-in ZIP program in Win XP - it's possible that the ZIP you are downloading (uploading?) is simply incompatible with the XP program. In Win 98 & 2000, you would have to use your own ZIP program, e.g. Winzip, and that can handle more formats that the XP program.
    Try installing the same ZIP program that you have on w98/2k on your XP machine, and see if you can open the uploaded file using it.

    I checked it at my end, I have this zip file in the path mentioned. Please check on your end too. If by any chance you are still unable to find the zip, give me your email id, i will send the zip to you.

  • Writing objects with in zip files

    Hi,
    I am trying to write an object into a zip file :
    ZipOutputStream zout=new ZipOutputStream(new FileOutputStream("test.zip");
    ZipEntry ze=new ZipEntry("test.dat");
    zout.putNextEntry(ze);
    ObjectOutputStream out=new ObjectOutputStream(zout);
    out.writeObject(obj);
    out.close();
    zout.closeEntry();
    zout.close();
    The above code is within a try-catch block.
    It is compiling correctly.
    But it is throwing an exception just after executing "zout.closeEntry()".
    The exception is "java.io.Exception: Stream Closed".
    I am using JDK 1.3.
    Can anyone help me.
    Indra.

    Hi Indra,
    I'm sorry it didn't work. I would try to simulate that problem but I really don't have time right now (but I will).
    What you can do is to try to create that zip file in 2 steps, first just serialize the objects in a ordinary file and then read from that file and create a zip file. Of course you'll have to do the same to get your objects out from the zip file.
    If the file is not too big you can use a ByteArrayOutputStream instead of a FileOutputStream for the first file.
    hope it will work,
    Gabe

  • Scenario: SOAP message with attached .zip file to FTP ?

    Hi all,
    I've searched SDN etc but got no good hints to my problem.
    My scenario is tht we are receiving an XML message via SOAP adapter and this is a MIME multipart message so it carries also a attached zip-file.
    The XML and the attached zip-file should then be saved over FTP.
    It enters IS correctly and I can see that I have the attachment and it goes to AE. I can see payload and attachment in the statusreport on receiver cc.
    The FTP adapter saves the payload XML correctly but the attachment is not saved anywhere.
    I have not configured any modules, BIC etc in the FTP adapter and I need some input on how to set this up tp put both files on FTP server.
    In the future the FILE adapter will be used and then I wounder if I will get the same problem there?

    I dont think there is a direct way of doing this. I can suggest you a method. In the directory receiver determination use 2 receivers with no condition. You message will get split in to two now. Create the interface determinations and receiver agreements. Complete one of them normally. It will sav the xml t FTP. For the other one, in the adapter use the payloadswapbean. It will swap the attachement to payload. THis one would save your zip on the ftp server.
    Hope its clear..!!

  • Trouble with Documentation ZIP File for Fusion Middleware 11g (11.1.1.6)

    Hello,
    I downloaded E23943_01.zip, which is the 2.5 GB documentation set for Fusion Middleware 11g (11.1.1.6), WebLogic 10.3.6. WinZip will not open the ZIP file due to this error: too many entries in central directory according to end of central directory info. My other ZIP programs report essentially the same error as WinZip.
    When I first encountered the error, I assumed my download did not complete correctly; but I downloaded it three times, with the same error. All three downloads had the same file sizes, and I even binary-compared two of them, which were identical.
    I am suspicious that the source E23943_01.zip file on Oracle's site is corrupt. Can anyone corroborate or refute my suspicions?
    Thanks,
    effdj

  • Working with a zip file

    I'm trying to resolve a problem with a program that involves downloading a .zip file. When you download a .zip file on a MacBook Pro, do you need to "unpack" the file? I have to replace and existing file with the downloaded file. I'm sure I am doing something wrong.

    double clicking usually unpacks the zip file.
    Control click>Compress will zip up a folder/file
    If the archive utility does not unzip, you can try something like StuffitExpander.
    There can be problems with zip files and it may be a source problem beyond your control

  • EMET 5 StackPivot incompatible with 7-zip File Manager 7zFM.exe ?

    Can anyone reproduce this issue?
    With StackPivot mitigation enabled for 7zFM.exe we can't open the 7-zip File Manager.
    We can produce the issue with Windows 7 x86, using EMET 5.0.5324.31804 and 7-Zip 9.20
    There is no EMET notification via the taskbar agent or the Event Log. However, simply unchecking StackPivot for 7zFM.exe allows it to work.
    Application log does contain Event ID 1000, fauling application name 7zFM.exe, faulting module name: KERNELBASE.dll

    Yes I can reproduce this issue. I wrote about my findings in an earlier post:
    https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/security/en-US/be56b6f7-a33a-49ac-a61c-4d4f295ca50b/experiences-with-the-enhanced-mitigation-experience-toolkit-emet-50-final-version-was-released?forum=emet#5d7b7ee6-3526-463f-b5c9-fb6208683800
    Later on I also found out that stackpivot was the culprit but I never posted it on that thread or created a feedback item om the EMET feedback portal.

  • IPhone oddly associates itself with other user's iTunes accounts

    Hello everyone,
    I have been having a strange problem. Most times that I use someone else's wireless network for Internet access and that person also has an iTunes account, my iPhone will automatically associate with that user's iTunes account. Usually, if I restart the phone, it reassociates with my iTunes account, but this time it is stuck on my friend's account. I never manually entered his account information.
    As a result, I cannot download any new apps or update existing apps, as the iPhone asks for my friend's password when I try to download from the App Store.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks,
    Steve

    Hi Steve,
    You'll need to sync the iPhone with a computer that is signed into the iTunes Store with your AppleID.

  • Windows vista and problem with association .swf files

    I have win vista 32bit. Downloaded and install adobe flash player from adobe site. I have some file with .swf extension but can not get to work with adobe flash player 10.1r52. Ii can asociated ths type of file with adobe flash player. Where is the adobe flash player after installation_in which folder? Confused. Help.

    Hi, The Flash files are at C:\Windows\System32\Macromed\Flash
    Also, if you used IE to Install Flash Player, then in Tools, Manage add ons you also need the Shockwave Flash Object,
    the ActiveX Control and it must be Enabled. This is Installed when Flash Player is Installed.
    If you are using Firefox or another non-IE browser, then in the plugins, there will be a SWF (version number of Flash Player) and it must be Enabled.
    Hope this helps,

  • I need help with this zip file so that I can let Dreamweaver do what it do.

    I need help. I bought a web design from a company called Envato. And file is zip, I heard that you use Abobe Illustrator to unzip the file, but I've tried that and got nothing. I've just download Dreamweaver with hopes that would work and again nothing. I NEED HELP!!!!

    To unZip a folder of files, you need to use a decompression utility such as WinZip, StuffIt or 7-UP.  Do you have either of those on your system?  If not get one & install it now.
    Open ZIP in your utility and EXTRACT all contents to your DW Local Site Folder.  If you have not defined a Local Site Folder in DW yet, do that now by going to Site > New Site.

    Hi Kalyan,
    By downloading the Java into local directory has partially worked. But It wouldn't let me uncheck the Oracle coherence while doing the custom installation as well.
    I have few more questions on the oracle quick start .
    Some times I ran into issue like "NO VALLID BROWSER FOUND" while entering the password. it wouldn't let me enter. (I ran into this new issue today)
    In others.
    Configure the Managed server
    If I click on add button, by default it is giving the name as "new_ManagedServer_1"
    Does it allow me to change the name in the configure managed server.
    How about Configure clusters and configure machines - Here I don't want configure any clusters. Configure machines (I would like to configure it later).
    At the end I got 2 URLS for Admin server.
    Can you please answer these questions ?
    Or if you have the doc for this, can you please share with me ?If you are willing I can give E-mail id .
    Thanks,

    If you require anti-virus protection Thomas Reed recommends using ClamXAV. (Thank you to Thomas Reed for this recommendation.)
    From user Joe Bailey comes this equally useful advice:
    The facts are:
    1. There is no anti-malware software that can detect 100% of the malware out there.
    2. There is no anti-malware that can detect anything targeting the Mac because there
         is no Mac malware in the wild, and therefore, no "signatures" to detect.
    3. The very best way to prevent the most attacks is for you as the user to be aware that
         the most successful malware attacks rely on very sophisticated social engineering
         techniques preying on human avarice, ****, and fear.
    4. Internet popups saying the FBI, NSA, Microsoft, your ISP has detected malware on
        your computer is intended to entice you to install their malware thinking it is a
        protection against malware.
    5. Some of the anti-malware products on the market are worse than the malware
        from which they purport to protect you.
    6. Be cautious where you go on the internet.
    7. Only download anything from sites you know are safe.
    8. Avoid links you receive in email, always be suspicious even if you get something
        you think is from a friend, but you were not expecting.
    9. If there is any question in your mind, then assume it is malware.
