    cant open zip files without saving first

    Please do the following to attempt to repair a Zip file:


    Click Start, click All Programs, and click Accessories

    Right click Command Prompt and choose Run as administrator

    Change directories to the folder where the corrupted Zip file is located

    Type: "C:\Program Files\WinZip\wzzip" -yf zipfile.zip


    If the corrupted Zip file is split or spanned, use the following command instead:


    "C:\Program Files\WinZip\wzzip" -yfs zipfile.zip


    WZZIP will create a new Zip file with a FIXED suffix in the file name. The original Zip file will not be modified. Only the data in the original Zip file is used.


    The FIXED Zip file is structurally sound but the data may still be corrupt. WZZIP does not fix the zipped data itself. If the zipped data has a CRC error or the zipped data is corrupt, then the resulting fixed Zip file will still be corrupt.


    Useful resources, which might become solutions have more different information than guide above...
