Hello
I can open a zip file, and there are contents inside that is are internet files and so on.
The programs that are to run when opened do not run anything, but ask me what program I want to use to open it?
What do I need to open this software? Is it WinZip?

Once extracted, look in the folder for a "setup" file with an extension of ".exe" if it is an application. If it is a single file, you need to know the extension of the file (such as .pdf) and download the appropriate viewer (check google) if you do not have the program to run the file. You can find out the extension of the file by right clicking a file in the "unzipped" folder and choosing "Properties". When Windows asks you which program you want to use, it usually means that you DO NOT have the program to view or run the file.
EXAMPLE: Sometimes I get an attachment of .ppt (Powerpoint) in an email. I do not own Powerpoint, but Microsoft makes a "viewer" which I downloaded at their site. Now I can view Powerpoint files but I CANNOT EDIT THEM.

Step a million: acquire a compression gadget alongside with WinZIP, Izarc, 7-zip, WinRAR. set up it on your computing gadget. Step 2: The setting up -would desire to- quickly affiliate itself with all compressed information. If it does not, then ideal click on a record with a zipper extension, opt for Open with... interior the popup that seems, scroll down until eventually you detect this technique you only put in, click on it, then ascertain the verify field decrease than the checklist is checked, then click on ok.

next time post the filename extension of the files you are having problem opening. could it be .html files? .exe? .bin?
because the computer wants to open those files but doesnt understand how. so it's asking you which program to open them with. i dont think it has anything to do with the zip file. it has to do with those certain files inside.

When you right click on the compressed (zipped) folder, you need to click on "Extract All..." and follow the directions.
