Are you using the "Add Vector Layer" command to open the shapefiles? If not, go to the "Layer" menu and select the "Add Vector Layer" command. You can then choose "Browse" to look for the shapefile you want to load.<br>

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

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

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