Please login as host user, go to Host-->Host Settings then expand the "Other Settings" section. Look at the field "Allowable File Extensions" and verify that "zip" is one of the allowed file types in the comma delimited list.

Thank you for your quick response! Unfortunetly I logged on as Host and went to setting and ZIP was already there! Do you know if there is something else that could be wrong?! Is anyone else having this problem?!

Assuming that your zip file is not corrupted which should give a different message, it now appears that you may be receiving a less than helpful error message.

Rather than the .zip extension not being an acceptable, I believe that one of the files contained within the zip file may have an extension that is not acceptible. The file extensions that can be handled by gallery include bmp, jpg, png, gif, mov, wmv, mpg, avi, and swf. What are the extensions of the files within the zip?
