<div dir="ltr">No luck on this yet, but thank you for your suggestion. On another computer, I still cannot upload shp files - instead changing them to nursoft (??) files. In any event, I cannot yet open a shp file using QGIS. <br>

<p>Hi, <br>
Please extract the contents of the zip file first into a destination folder of choice.<br>
When opening a shapefile, navigate to your folder to select the shapefile(s).<br>
Hope this helps..<br>

I'm very new to any GIS type platforms, so please forgive the ignorance on<br>
display here (and I did search for answers to this elsewhere). I've<br>
downloaded QGIS 2.0.1. I separately downloaded Tunisia administrative data<br>
from DIVA-GIS. When I open QGIS, it does not find the .zip file, nor any of<br>
the shp files. In my efforts to correct, I managed to convert shp files into<br>
pdfs. Even though I've re-installed QGIS, and deleted and re-downloaded<br>
Tunisia files, shp files are once again pdfs, and QGIS cannot "see" any shp<br>
files. Any advice, or thoughts on what I'm doing wrong, greatly appreciated.<br>
