G'day from Oz.

Every Mac OS 9.x program I've downloaded has been stuffed as a .sit file, but if stuffed with the latest Stuffit, an old version of Expander might not recognize them.

Also, you might have to drag the file onto Expander. Keep a handy alias on your desktop for this.

Even more extreme is to open Expander, and navigate to the file.

Sometimes a .sit file downloads with a blank icon, and will not open. I've tried re-setting the file type & creator, but no luck.

Also, I've had real problems with .img.sit (stuffed disk image) files, which I'm still trying to open.

Regards

Brian Christmas

yeah go to www.3vix.com dl divix doctor it is a good prog but divx valadator I find is better it should come with divix doctor or at least it use to. then open with quicktime go to www.divx.com dl divx 5.02 that will help also go into the contorl panel click on quicktime setting and update quicktime taht will help too.
for .rm or .ram use real player if you have osx get realone
for .asf use win meda player
also go into youer controle pannel and click on quicktime settings then go to update update qucktime taht should help too.
peace
