Hello,
Recently this problem has appeared that I cannot figure out because it happens only sometimes. When I download a program, save it to the desktop (I think that is the zipped file- 7z, or winzip) and then try to open it, all open windows start flashing and i have to force shut down the whole system. On the other hand, some programs which had a special place from which to download gave me no problem at all. What is it? It seem that this problem started when I upgraded to the latest explorer. thanks for any help you provide.

what apps are you downloading, and where are you downloading them from?

Hi,
I tried to download programs such as Ripit4Me, and just now a registry cleaner (that after reading about further it I decided not to use). However, if I am downloading a program from a cd then I have no problem at all. thanks

You might try the fix from Doug Knox. The last one on the list.
ZIP Folder Association Fix
Note: For the ZIP file fix, the download is a REG file, since ZIP's aren't working.
