I downloaded the game PacPC and then could not open it. It has something to do with a ZIP file, whatever that means. I'm afraid I'm very new to computers, so please can you tell me on how to open this file?
A ZIP file is a common type of archive file. In other words, a ZIP file is a single file that may contain one or more other files, usually in a compressed form to save space and download time. ZIP files are so common that we sometimes forget that an application to open them doesn't come as standard with Windows. So what you need is a program that will extract the contents of zip archives: an unzipper.
One of the most popular shareware programs for doing this is WinZip, which you can download from www.winzip.com. Another one, which is easy to use and a favourite of ours (because it's free) is Expander, which you can get from Aladdin Systems (www.aladdinsys.com).
