Adobe Illustrator Opening File Crashes

[defaulteszw4yraksx4]

I was wondering if anyone could help me solve this problem I'm having. I don't know why but every time I try to open up compressed zip files Illustrator keeps crashing. However, I can start a new file just fine. I've tried disabling my GPU and it still dosen't work. If anyone could get back to me and solve this problem, i'd be forever grateful.

Try doing it outside AI. That is unzip the file first and then open it with the application.
