I'm trying to save an application and it's a zip file. I've tried saving it to the 
desktop, C: Drive, documents, etc...but it doesn't show any of those places???

Thoughts?

Tip: Run a free scan for common Windows errors ad

re: .Zip Not Saving...Anywhere??? Thursday, November 12, 2009 at 5:02 am Posted by Kevinh (634 messages posted) Are you using the built in zip function or a 3rd party application like winzip? When you say saving do you mean saving the actual zip file or extracting the contents. If you are extracting the contents make a note of the path where the system says it's being extracted to and look there.

It just simply never appears? I believe I use winzip but will have to confirm later.

Friday, November 13, 2009 at 9:27 am Posted by sj022698 (61 messages posted) It does nothing. I forgot to check if I have winzip. I reformatted awhile ago and can't remember if I reloaded it. I'm looking online right now and it's showing as a pay program??? Hasn't it always been freeware?

Desktop, C Drive, jump drive, etc... So, I first thought virus. All virus and malware/adware scans come back clean Thoughts?

What happens if you login as Administrator ? [Reply or follow-up to this message] re: .Zip Not Saving...Anywhere??? Monday, November 16, 2009 at 7:12 am Posted by sj022698 (61 messages posted) Actually I figured it out. It was a virus and it was caught with the new update from AVG but had to load that update from a different computer. Malware, Lavasoft and not the most current avg did not catch it. Thanks everyone!
