[Qgis-user] Newbie - QGIS won't recongize shp files, comp turns shp files into pdfs

[Matt_Klick]

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