Well, most of them are viruses anyway, which attach themselves to outgoing email messages on Windows computers. Assuming they're not, you can try dropping the file on StuffIt Expander. Some of these files are self-expanding archives, and if there are just data files in them, you can use those as you would a native Mac file. Or you could get one of the IBM-PC emulators for your Mac. +- Saint John -+ | "The Gawdge is understood to save | +-- All sorts of objects in its cave." (E.

The drive, however, is working as normal and is recognised as connected on systm profile. Any solutions to the start-up recognition? Also, would this be related to the system freezing immediately after start-up? Thanks in advance pete __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Get Yahoo!
