Hey everyone!i cant load quests anymore and i would like it fixed. so what happened is that i found a quest i wanted to play,i got the zip,was about to open it and put the quest file in my ZC/ZQ folder and then an error popped up and it said-->"The Compressed (zipped) Folder is invalid or corrupt"<--now this happened to all the folders i downloaded that included quests(Exe...quest zip did not work,but one that was just midi did work) and this failed with another quest so....what do i do,if i have to download soft where it will have to be under 4GB because i have to transfer data from my parents computer that has internet to mine that does not,and the SD card only holds 4GB,and i think you have the point now.Thanks in advance.

I wonder if the file types used by it got disassociated with WinZip.

What's your Operating System?

About to leave for work, but there are ways to help. A quick google of "How to restore default file associations" will help. Until then, as proof of concept, here's a video. I'll take another look when I get back from work, though there are other people here as well, and Google is most definitely your friend. Be sure to find out which operating system you have, as the method I used on Windows XP doesn't seem to be the same for Windows 7 for some reason.

It's a video

If no Zip files are working on your computer, you can try 7-Zip (which also has a portable version you can install on a flash drive). That opens almost all kinds of archive files including .zip and .rar.

Beat me to it. This should do it though. 7Zip replaces winrar and the default methods of compressing and unzipping for myself.

That shouldn't be an association problem. That message is from Windows's built-in decompressor, which should be capable of handling anything in the database. It's not impossible that another program will work, but I expect the files are actually bad, especially if some files do work.
If it's a problem with the files, the only thing you can do is download them again.

It sounds like you are trying to open files using the latest format that Winzip introduced a while ago. I believe MS never updated there integrated Zip handling mechanisms to handle the new format (At least for Windows XP).

uh....does that mean i need to get new softwhere?

So honestly seeing as you're 10 and the problem here sounds like a fairly simple one, you should probably ask your parents. Even if it is your computer I assume they were the ones that bought it and wouldn't be incredibly pleased if while trying to fix the problem you ended up doing something to make it worse.

i tried...they did not know either...also it us only the the ZIP files that have a quest in them that did not work,ones that where loose tiles and midis worked though.
