Hi.Can someone tell me how I can overcome the problem of downloading ZIp files.
I keep on getting an error message saying its corrupt or harmful.
The program I'm trying to download is Media player classic.
Please help.

I just downloaded from the two links baldrick just posted with no problems. Seems like the problem is on your end somewhere. What browser are you using? Try re-installing your browser or using a different browser.

edit.
just saw you are using internet explorer.
Try installing and using firefox and then see if you can get those zip files.

I've just tried installing winzip but its asking me to buy it which i think is why it wont work.
How can I install a zip program for free?

7zip is free but I don't think that is your problem. I think your internet explorer is borked. Why don't you try a better browser like firefox?

I've just downloaded firefox

Firefox doesnt do owt.I really think its because i dont have a zip program.
Ill do a search on that 7zip thing you just mentioned.
