How do I restore Zip file download function to open Zip attachments?

[CreativeVision]

Hello guys! I'm not computer savvy but I can follow directions pretty well. Recently, I've discovered I cannot open any Zip files from my computer. I get an Adobe Acrobat error message saying I cannot open file because it is either not supported or file is damaged. This message comes up every time I try to open a zip file, no matter the source. I suspect it may be a default association problem based on the research I have done but I don't know how to correct the issue. As I said, I don't know a lot about operating systems. Can anyone assist and/or point me in the right direction?

Thanks so much!

Welcome to the forum,

See if this tutorial helps you restore the default file association,

Zip is at the bottom of the list, pretty thorough instructions at the top of the page.

Any questions, just ask.
