I am new to computers so please bear with me.

I have pictures in a file but can't open it because it's a Zip File.

The promts tell me to go to Chrome store to get program that can open i got the first one i saw, but says my Acer doesn't support it. So now I'm confused. 

Can someone please tell me in english which one to get. Just want to get my pictures in one or two files, but still be able to access them.

Plus want to download images from web, found out they are zipped also.

Please help.

You can download winzip for either a free trial or another similar version from one these sites...there are several sites offering download but some may have added browser downloads etc too...I downloaded a "winzip" trial version yesterday to unzip some files but have used others on other laptops in the past...they`re all pretty much the same.

Not sure if present in your version of Windows but Windows 7 supports .zip files natively so you should not need a 3rd party app for general zip work.
