Hi, I'm new here. I was trying to download Amazing Spider-Man. I managed OK, and then when I tried to open it, I got this: Compressed (zipped) folder error: File skipped unknown compression method.
I have Windows XP . Any ideas anyone? Thanks so much, I can't wait to play this game again after years off. blablabla@vaxxine.com Edited email to prevent bots from using it -Eagle of Fire |

Amazing Spider-Man is archived, and thus needs to be opened with WinRar or WinZip. Have you tried using those programs? If you don't know how to use them, please post here and I'll tell you.

You get that error message because you don't use the latest version of the right archiver. We recommend WinRar, but if it still fails then download the latest version of WinZip and try again.

Don't use XP's ZIP function. Use WinZip or WinRar, and NOT through its context menu.

Some of the latest zips can't be opened with windows. But, like has been said so many time so far, a third party archiver will do the trick.

Ok everyone.... I just managed to get the WinRar installed correctly and it seems to be working, but I now have a new problem.
The Spider man starts, but instead of one image on the screen, I have 4 identical small ones, and the bottom two are flashing. It's very annoying and obviously not right. Has anyone else come across this and what did I do wrong, or are some of my settings on the computer wacko? Thanks for your help. |

I think you need to use DOSBox to start the game on XP. Are you using it?
You can find DOSBox here |
