Hi Matt,
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.
Regards, Frank.

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

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

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.
