As long as you have a .zip handling program on your computer it should take no more than double clicking on the .zip file to open it in the zip file program. Once there, you use the Extract command to decompress the files within the .zip archive to a folder on your hard drive.
Once you have the uncompressed file or files in a folder on your hard drive, start the driver update process for your USB port and when it asks for the driver, point it at the folder you saved the files in. All zipping is, is compressing a file or group of files so that they take up less space so downloading them takes less time, nothing to be afraid of... 8-) Later, Ray Parrish > Probably a dumb question but; I don't understand what I'm suppose to > do when I get a file that has been "zipped".
