How can I extract stuff from zip files? When I click on one it opens a program called Archiver but i get a message saying "Sorry, the utility zip is not in your PATH. Please install it or contact your system administrator."

What distro are you running? Most of them *should* include by default, the tools 'zip' and possibly also 'unzip'. You might try just heading to the console, typing
which zip
-or-
whereis zip
...to see where the 'zip' command might be on your system. If you don't get a response, or 'file not found', you'll have to install the utility beforehand.
You might also consider checking your path and adjusting it as necessary to use the command; some systems may hide 'zip' under /sbin or /usr/sbin, meant for admin use only and you're not seeing it becuase those paths are not in your path directive. Just a thought. Luck!
