Where is the Zipper for Windows XP Professional?

[kahn]

I wanted to zip/compress a file to make it easier to
email, but it was not present on my computer. I began
looking for the "Zip" drive, and below is what I
received...

"The currently installed driver for Zip Magic is not
compatible with this version of Microsoft Windows"

I have looked all over the Microsoft sight, and nothing.
If anyone nows where I can download a zip driver/zipper,
please send me the link...thanks in advance.

ZIP file support is built in Windows XP. Right click the file(s) or
folder(s) and select Send To, Compressed File

Hi Kahn,

In addition to Doug's helpful advice....

Go to Start/Run and type in: regsvr32 zipfldr.dll

First of all, note that a "zip drive" is a piece of hardware made
by a company called Iomega. Despite the similarity of the names,
this has nothing to do with zip compression.

You probably have an older version of ZipMagic installed, one
that is not compatible with Windows XP.

Windows XP comes with built-in zip/unzip capabilities. Go to Help
and Support, and type the word "zip" for more information.
