Unable to create new Compressed (Zipped) Folder in windows xp pro

Hi,

I would suggest you to follow the methods mentioned:

Method 1:

Run Online Microsoft Safety Scanner

http://www.microsoft.com/security/scanner/en-us/default.aspx

Click above link, “Download” and Run.

Disclaimer: Any data files that are infected may only be cleaned by deleting the file entirely, which means there is a potential for data loss

Method 2:

Perform a SFC scan and run the sfc/scannow command.

NOTE: You might be prompted to insert the Windows XP installation disc while performing the scan. Keep the installation disc handy.

If still issue remains same follow method 3.
