Notes about the GZIP file extension:

Errors in your registry are one of the common causes for incorrect file associations on your windows system. It is highly recommended that you check your registry for file association errors (will also check for any other registry errors).

The GZIP file type is primarily associated with 'Gzip Compressed Archive'. (more usually seen as .GZ) [Note: GZIP used on a single file will often produce a compressed file with the last letter of the original extension replaced with the letter Z; e.g., gzip 1d66.pdb will likely produce 1d66.pdz.]

Cannot access GZIP files on windows?

When windows gives you an error message saying that it
"Cannot open GZIP files", this means either:

A. You need to identify a program that can open the file
B. Or your registry may be damaged

RECOMMENDED:

In both cases it is strongly recommended that you
run a free scan for registry errors.
