Windows XP built-in zip problem

If no good here either adrianyujs and you'd like XP functionality back maybe uninstalling PowerArchiver would restore ability if speed is what's important, then re-register .... regsvr32 zipfldr.dll. I haven't toyed with PA to know if side-lining window function's has been the issue, possibly a different zipper would allow both itself and XP?

Does anyone else in the audience have the ability to c/p from within a zipped folder while having PowerArchiver installed?
*Post fifteen please.


GF

 

Hi! Buddy,I uninstalled PowerArchiver, and re-register zipfldr.dll, the problem still can't be solved. So, I think it is a bugs, maybe windows xp sp3 will fix this problem.

 

Yes, but did you try logging on as another user in case there's corruption somewhere inside your current profile?

GF

 

Yes buddy, I try login other user account, problem still same...

 

I know your on XP, can gather it's sp2 from post 27. What I don't know is *how?*
Does your original install disc have sp2 included? Online update? Or you updated the service-pak by disc?

At this stage I would suggest Window's System File Checker utility depending on your answer ....


GF

 

Ok ok.... Let me explain to you. I install Windows XP which is first release edition, after that I install SP1(CD) then SP2(CD), after that, I install all the driver and application.
That time I use copy and paste method with opened zip folder, its working. After I have broadband, then I online update until no more update already(Latest Update). Then I realize that copy and paste method can't work anymore. And I don't think it is windows update problem, because it is microsoft product, how come can have problem It also have so many SECURITY UPDATE and WINDOWS UPDATE, I's frustating which one to uninstall.
And I try your suggest, that is sfc, I use SFC /SCANNOW, the problem still can't be solve.

 

May I ask *exactly* what happened when you ran sfc /scannow?

GF

 

Nothing happen, windows SFC check and verify the system file, after finish it, also nothing happen.

 

Running out of places to look. Tell me, can you drag and drop between two open folder's (not necessarily a zipped one)?

GF

 

yes, i can drag and drop between two folder, and can't drap and drop between opened zip folder and folder.

 

adrianyujs,

Here's what I'm thinking .... possibly somewhere along the line the *linking* or *chaining* mechanism that allows information/code to be moved to the clipboard after copying may have lost some sort of internal association. Not knowing enough, that would be a make-shift description.

Considering how third party programs such as PowerArchiver like to add their own context menu extension's, this article made sense in looking for a solution. Maybe worth your time to try and determine if one of your add-on's is causing a block. On that page you'll find a utility to assist in trouble-shooting should you not be comfortable moving about the registry .... ShellExView by Nir Sofer. Clean coded, useful software (no install necessary, just unzip to a folder of your choice and run it).

Your issue may well lie here or maybe a particular M$ update. Without being able to pinpoint a time frame, it remain's sort of guesswork. Give it a try. If formatting is your final recourse, you'd have nothing to lose.


GF

 

Dear Global Force, the problem still can't be solve.

 

adrianyujs,

Would you post a screenshot of your context menu when right-clicking a zipped folder. Please make it big enough to include the highlighted folder. Refer to What Are Attachments? if unsure. You may also need to temporarily disable any pop-up blocker's if when selecting "Manage Attachments," a new window doesn't open.


GF

 

On my XP system, I can not copy a file or folder from one windows zipped folder to another windows zipped folder either but I can copy or drag from a windows zipped folder to another unzipped folder.

 

But on my xp, I can't drag and drop between two windows zipped folder. What happen exactly??
The screen shot i take is i right click the file in zipped folder, then have copy option, after select it, and i paste on desktop, nothing happen.

 

Please re-check the detail's of my request adrianyujs.
I'd like to see it when right clicking the zipped folder itself, not a file within.

GF

 

Here is what after right click zipped file.

 

OK, now we're getting somewhere!

A friend of mine just confirmed the ability to copy/paste an executable from a zipped folder to a plain one aboard sp2 .... with 7-Zip installed! What I see in your screenshot and your desktop are references to PowerArchiver, correct?
Thought you uninstalled that?

Did you even bother to download ShellExView and disable PA's context inclusion's? I don't think for a second your going to have any success c/p'ing as you have in the past with PA in the picture.

GF

 

Thank's for the addition controller. That sp1, or 2?

GF

 

Mine is SP2.

 

This is I already disable PA shell...

 

I enable windows built in zip.. still can't solve the problem...

 

No question's or answer's for the moment adrianyujs. I'll need some time.

GF

 

@adrianyujs - have u tried also disabling PA's context menus? maybe even uninstalling it aftewards?

u also mentioned that u install windows xp, then sp1, and lastly sp2. just a future fyi, sp2 already includes sp1.

 

I tried all method, uninstalling PA, disable PA shell. The problem still can't be solve.....
