Compressed (zipped) folders error

I've recently bought a new computer and upgraded to Vista. I have numerous
files backed up and encrypted with password protection. WHen I try to open
these files I get the Compressed (zipped) folders error and a message that
WIndows cannot complete the extraction - destination file could not be
created. Also extraction error 0x80004005: unspecified error appears. How
can I open these files?

If you used the EFS file encryption and did not perform a backup of the
encryption certificates, you may not be able to recover those files.

Best practices for the Encrypting File System:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/223316

The following software purports to be able to recover encrypted files.
