Great site!
All my favourites are here nice work!

jakethesnake OS 30-03-2005 12:10 AM

of course I ment "cant extract it"

This error seems to be obvious to me. Try to upgrade your version of WinZip or WinRar to a newer version. Should work afterward.

Actually, it is one of the packages I uploaded... and I used a less common method of ZIP compression. Try 7Zip or Total Commander (it's a file manager - BUT it has internal ZIP unpacker that works with this type).

Strange, I did not have any problem to exract it with WinZip while creating DOSBox tutorial. :blink:

A month or two back the file has been replaced. Instead of the pitiful french-to-english-tranlation-by-a-non-french-speaking-russian that, to add insult to injury, was not cracked properly, you now have the original english version with a loader crack that is 100% checked and guaranteed to work.

i tried that and I STILL GET AN ERROR MESSAGE!!!

The Fifth Horseman 11-02-2010 07:43 PM

The archive has been replaced since then with a repacked one - it's definitely not it. Might be your compression utility - try a different one.

Which one would work?

The Fifth Horseman 11-02-2010 09:07 PM

Perhaps 7-Zip?

I already tried that and got the same type of error message.

_r.u.s.s. 11-02-2010 11:12 PM

just tried 7zip, winrar, winzip, default windows unzipping utility for xp sp2 and all works without errors, must be your download or something

first of all, which version of flashback do you mean?

check if your archive has this file size
floppy version- 3 045 414 bytes
cd version- 89 475 807 bytes

if you wish, here i uploaded the floppy version as self extracting archive. if it's the cd version that you're looking for, i won't be able to finish uploading that much before i go to sleep today, so ask someone else or just download it elsewhere

Have you tried redownloading it? from your PC and/or from someone else's? It looks like your download got corrupted... I don't have any problem with it, either, and I used both winrar and 7zip

Back in 2005, I was sure that this problem was a PEBKAC problem.

I still think the same today.

I did try that one and got the same type of error message.

The Fifth Horseman 12-02-2010 03:28 PM

Shouldn't be happening. Post a screenshot of the error message.

... so once again you didn't provide full information, and expect us to automagically know it. *sigh*

Are you using a command line tool? If yes, just add > output.txt at the end of the command to output any console messages into a text file.

Else, use Screen Thief as advised by 'raider.

If you prefer, you can just type in the text of the message - but it has to be the exact text how presented by the program, NOT your interpretation of it!

I FINALLY got it unzipped!!! Thanks.

So, what was the problem in the end and how did you solve it?
