OK, so I have a question about ZIP files.

Certain ones I can unzip just fine. But some other ones won't even let me view the contents, they just say, "Please insert the last disk of the Multi-Volume set and click OK to continue."

I don't recall anything about a multi-volume set of anything. I don't know what I'm supposed to do in this situation.

(BTW, I'm running Windows XP on some type of Dell computer, if that helps.)

Haha... I don't know how to help you, but that message is pretty hilarious. (Sorry.)

I have never seen that error message before. Insert last disk? It reminds me of the old MSDOS days when you installed your application from a stack of floppy disks.

Anyways, it looks like the ZIP archive your trying to... unzip was split up into separate files. You need all of those files in the same folder and then you can start unzipping stuff.

If you don't have an unzipping utility (winzip, winrar, etc.) I recommend 7zip. Freeware, open source, no bull****: 7-Zip

I have WinZip already, thanks.

Also, the two ZIPs I'm trying to unzip are Rockman 8 FC and Game Maker Lite.

^That theory doesn't really make sense to me, as in, it seems illogical.

try winrar or another to see if you get the same message

also do any of these files say ".part1" or similar?

No.

EDIT: Redownloaded the files, they unzipped just fine. Sorry for the inconvienence.
