Archive Utility has stopped working

Hi Folks,

Any idea how to reinstall this program? It hass topped working - I double-click on a .zip,for example, and Archive Utility opens up - but just hangs in what appears to be a state of starting the decompression process. Force Quit is my only option. I'd like to get this working (and not replace it with something else). Is there a preference file or something that can be tossed? Can I reinstall it?

Thanks.

MacBook Pro (15-inch Late 2008), OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.2)
