Default Office 2007 -- Zip File Error "Office Open XML File Cannot be

Yes, here's a link

http://www.cms.hhs.gov/PrescriptionDrugCovContra/

and it would be to the third document listed under "Downloads" (the one with
the Zip icon next to it). There are many similar examples -- any time I click
on a document with a zip icon next to it now, the same problem arises.
Previously, when I clicked on the document it did automatically extract the
files. But now it doesn't, whether I click on "open" or "save" first (when
the Windows box pops up asking if I want to open or save the file).

Is there some other way I could perhaps extract the files from the Zip first
(other than by clicking on the document)?

Thanks for any help you can provide.

Can you give a specific link that contains a file you cannot open?
I take it you are not trying to open the ZIP file directly in Word? You
would have to extract the files from the ZIP first.

I've had Office 2007 for months now without problems, but just
recently have not been able to open Zip folders from a government
web site. When I try to open the Zip folder it won't open and
displays the message "The Office Open XML file [X] cannot be opened
because there are problems with the contents" . When I click on
"Details" it state that Microsoft Office cannot open the file because
some parts are missing or invalid or corrupt.

But these are files I opened fine previously, and I am now getting
this message for every zip file I try to open from this web site
(www.cms.hhs.gov). I have Windows Vista.

Any suggestions to solve this would be much appreciated.
