I have this zip.folder that I download with a cool pic in it and every time I try to view the pic it just doesn't do anything and when I try to extract it it says the file skipped unknown compression method

It sounds as though that the software that the file was originally compressed with is needed to extract/uncompress the file.
What is the filetype? is .zip, rar or other type

Download WinRar:
http://www.download.com/WinRAR/3000-2250_4-10007677.html?tag=mncol
Once installed, right-click the file and choose "extract here", WinRar opens just about every type of compressed file, if it does not open, then the file is corrupt.
