Have you added the ".zip" filename extension? Windows only recognizes 
file types by extension, and since the "Pipmak Resources" file, as 
shipped, doesn't have an extension (deliberately), Windows doesn't know 
what to do with it.

That sounds like a bug in your ZIP utilities (they shouldn't crash even 
when you throw invalid files at them), or possibly the way Windows 
launches them, or some general Windows confusion (file system corruption 
maybe?). Have you tried opening the file from within the program, 
instead of double-clicking in Windows Explorer? I have no trouble 
opening the Pipmak Resources file shipped in pipmak-0.2.7-windows.zip 
using Archive Utility, The Unarchiver, and Info-ZIP unzip here, so the 
file seems to be OK. If Pipmak can still use it, it can't be too 
severely damaged anyway, but have you tried re-downloading it? Have any 
other Windows users tried the utilities James lists?
