What happens if you double-left-click the zip file?

Adobe Reader should have no part in this.

You may need to reset your file association for .zip.

What OS version do you have? (XP, Vista, etc.)

Hi Sarkot, i have vista home, i do not get theoption of clicking any file its just a black text box with the previous message.

#1, are you downloading from www.getpaint.net?

#2, Adobe Reader only opens .PDF files, not a ZIP file. It sounds like you need to change the options in your browser's tool menu.

If the Download dialogue offers a choice between

Open with...

or

Save File

be sure that Save File is ticked.

Can you download other zip files from other sites OK?

[Archie7748]

Have not tried other zip downloads, but have had no bother in the past

I just downloaded new driver from Logitech for my webcam as zip file and it was ok, also save the paint.net file to my desktop as zip file but still not opening

[Sarkut]

Okay.

Try clearing your browser's cache and/or using a different

browser to download the Paint.NET zip.

It should open with simple left-clicking.

Does the driver zip that you downloaded open OK?
