how do i play zip files?

Answer 1

You don't, you "unzip" them
If you have Win Xp or later, simply right click it and select extract.

Or if you want more control, get Winzip from www.winzip.com

Answer 2

I will assume you have either a GAME/VIDEO/AUDIO file you wish to access. First a zipped filed is a way to save something by crunching it into a smaller space. Drop a ten ton block on a HUM V and it now fits into the space of a VW. everythings still there, it weighs the same, but its smaller, more compact. The HUM V now stores well in less space, but you cant use it in this form you must uncranch it.
Computer files are much the same. Some files such as VIDEO/AUDIO/GAMES etc... take up alot of disc space. to save space a ZIP program condenses the material into a smaller space. The problem as with the HUM V is the material is unusable in this form.
To restore the file or uncrunch it so to speak you need a program. Windows 2000/xp/vista all come with a working progam installed which can be accessed to unzip the file. These also have tutorials to explain there use under the help files. If you do not have these preinstalled programs you can download many types of unzip programs from the internet. WINZIP is a great one and is very popular. PKZIP for older and MSDOS computers.
you may obtain a free usable copy of winzip from their website at winzip.com, or just search the web for zip programs.
