Are you using the 32bit or the 64 bit version of Vista?
What program do you use to unzip files with. If you are using the 64 bit version of Vista there could be a conflict as 99% of zip files are made with 32bit systems and this might be a problem I am not sure. 8-)

Also, make sure you are using WinRAR, tends to work with most things as appose to WinZIP!

I agree completely 8-) One thing for sure either you have a corrupted zip file or what ever program you use to unzip files with is not working correctly. 8-)

I'm running the 64bit version of Vista, and with the exception of a couple corrupted downloaded files, i've never had a real problem before.
