Each time I try to open a file in Adobe reader I get the following message:
Adobe reader could not open _______.zip because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged.
I have to save the file to my flash drive and open it on my desktop which opens it fine using windows XP. Is this a Vista problem? I have uninstalled all of my Adobe/Acrobat files and reinstalled them, no luck!

.zip is a compressed file format that Adobe says it doesn't support. To view it in Adobe, right-click the file and select 'Extract All'. Click OK on the window that comes up. Finally double-click the file with the same name as the original but that ends with .pdf in the same location as the original file.
